T-boned

I almost got T-boned twice in the last 7 days because of ASR.

I went to pull out in front of a truck making a right turn. As soon as I pressed the gas, the thing kicked on and the truck had to jam the brakes to keep from hitting me.

Normally the car would have gotten on the road and took off.

The same thing happened again as I pulled out of the road out of my development. Some Dodge truck pulling a boat. I didn't want to be behind him so I nailed it and then the thing totally bogged down in front of him.

I think the only thing ASR would be good for is once you're on the highway and it's raining and you hydroplane or if you're on the highway and hit a patch of black ice. Other than that, it's totally useless. That thing should never kick on unless you're already doing over 40 MPH.
