If it doesnt get reported to your insurance company then you wont have to deal with raised rates.

If he was hydroplaning, the VDC wasn't going to save him. I'd check your all seasons wet rating and hydroplaning resistance, because a lot of all seasons really don't do that great in the rain. You can find summer performance tires that do far better in wet weather.

You will be amazed at how many accidents (in the rain mostly) happened when the person replied "VDC was off".

Why do you think it was the first thing we asked??

Everybody agrees with you, but the question became an accusation. Whatever the truth may be, just go along with what he tells us.

Besides he's from NYC, when it rains here, the West Side Highway's left and right lanes become better suited for boats.

once you hydroplane especially on performance tires you're in trouble. you're not going to throw on aquatreads or even snow tires just when the weather gets bad especially every other day now in NYC it's been crappy weather.
