Several times i've had the cruise set at 35 just to make sure i don't accidentally speed, and i've been glad.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-34204458326583592262019-10-02T19:22:59.410-04:002019-10-02T19:22:59.410-04:00SWMBO and I are just the opposite of you and Mrs. ...SWMBO and I are just the opposite of you and Mrs. C.

So I pass you and think, what is wrong with him? It sounds like I drive like Mrs. C without the cruise control. I like to be in control so I can't use it. I could never get in a self driving car either. I would always be fearful because damn it I like control!

I do use it on the few 4 lane roads around the state as it is too easy to speed when being faced with all that straight road.

Hubby uses it for longer trips and taught son to use it on longer trips especially when traveling through areas where one might potentially have speed traps around oneself. Hubby is a very aggressive driver. He has to be with his long commutes on major freeways with "idiots" driving all around him. I close my eyes a lot when we are driving together. Don't worry, he is the driver and I'm just the passenger, that's why I can close my eyes. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-85810700878167672972019-10-02T00:17:15.864-04:002019-10-02T00:17:15.864-04:00I hate cruise control!

I stomp the imaginary brake AND grab the OH-BLEEP handle. Cruise control makes Hick stay in the fast lane, backing up traffic, rather than getting over to ride up on other people's bumpers, and let drivers cruising faster around him.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-41230495526350008752019-10-01T23:44:20.413-04:002019-10-01T23:44:20.413-04:00I always thought cruise control was for the open h...I always thought cruise control was for the open highway, where you can travel for many miles at the same speed because there aren't stop lights like in the towns and cities. in a city I'd think it would be much easier to ease off the gas and ease on the brakes as needed than to constantly be adjusting an automatic control. I don't know anyone who worries about mileage.

I don't use it when I constantly have to reduce speed on a busy road though. And I did read a warning not too long ago that warns against using it when the roads are wet or it's rainy. Apparently it's not uncommon to hydroplane and get yourself in a bit of a pickle.It's.a.crazy.worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097206219065815316noreply@blogger.com
