Nothing to worry about TD, if Schumaker ever commandeers your taxi he will not want the TC on anyway....   ;)

I wouldnt let him anyway, I suspect he was uninsured to drive that other taxi  :-X

If its like the brother in law (who lives in Munich and is married to one of out square headed europeon collegues)  then they insure the car with restrictions against age and convictions so any driver can drive it....very different to here.


Yep, seen this in other countries, you pay a tiny bit more and get an 'Any Driver' insurance for your car....

Yours is right and you will have to turn the TC off every time you start the car :(

lol ive got into that routine now, seatbelt on, start car, TC off.

i dont like the omega TC at all, its more dangerous that safe imo (for me anyway).

My TC only comes on very rarely, and it is either when I am taken by surprise by a speed bump traffic calming measure and have one wheel (or two) up in the air, or when taking a sharp bend uphill while driving slowly in high gear. I only see it once every few months if that, so not worth worrying about switching it off anyway....

But it does point to the Omega's un-sporty character. the fact that neither the TC nor the Sports mode can be set permanently suggest that the designers did not see the car as being routinely driven sportively....

There's a section of badly maintained dual carriageway near me that is prone to standing water. That often gets the TC flashing away (at 69.9 MPH) :o
