An appropriate driving style is always the Adjust your driving style to the situation An appropriate driving style is always the responsibility of the driver.
The laws of physics cannot be repealed, even with DSC.

Do not reduce the additional safety margin with a risky driving style, as otherwise there is a risk of an accident.◀
