What does it mean if the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) indicator lamp lights up while you’re driving?

www.drivingtheorytest.uk - Safety margins - What does it mean if the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) indicator lamp lights up while you’re driving? ESC is a computer controlled technology that detects reduced traction and automatically makes corrective adjustments to prevent loss of control. The ESC lamp comes on to alert the driver that the system has activated and the car is approaching its handling limits.
