What is effectiveness of ESC?

Q: What kind of research do you have which shows the effectiveness of ESC? 

• UK based research has found that vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are 25% less likely to be involved in a fatal accident than those without it. 
• If every vehicle on the road were fitted with ESC, this would equate to approximately 380 fewer fatal accidents each year. 
• The research was conducted by the Vehicle Safety Research Centre (VSRC) at Loughborough University, for the UK Department for Transport.
• The study concluded that ESC was especially effective in helping to prevent crashes that involved a vehicle skidding or overturning, with the potential to reduce serious accidents like this by up to 59%. 
• As well as this, it concluded that ESC could offer additional benefits in adverse road conditions such as rain, ice and snow. 
• This latest study focuses on UK roads specifically and shows similar results to other important global studies on ESC effectiveness.
• Studies from various countries have already shown ESC to be very effective at reducing accidents.
