I'm baffled when I meet people over 18 that don't even know how to use it - in

Totally agree, but who knows if any specific car has a broken cruise control.

Or if they don’t have cruise control

One other pet peeve on long drives are semis who pass another semi going about

And this is why the road to Boise sucks so much. So many slow semis passing each other on hills.

That’s pretty much any ancestor of ours seeing us complain about anything today

It was broken on the car I had from 16 until 24, so I never got in the habit

Same here. Didn't have primary car with cruise control until age 29.

I feel more in control without it. But that is just me.

I would argue it gives you even more control. Hence the name. You never have to

Me experience is that if I am getting drowsy, I slow down. I can then recognize

The drive from LA to LV is horrible. Everyone parks in the left lane. The only

It can be the worst. Hence the reason we always leave at 4:30 AM.

6/23/23 4:56pm

Everyone parks in the left lane because they’re all trying to pass the right

Even better than cruise control: adaptive cruise control that slows down when vehicles ahead are slow.

I won't buy another car that doesn't have adaptive cruise control. It's amazing!

I hate rental cars with adaptive cruise control

Couldn’t agree more. I posted about this a while back. I like old fashion cruise

6/24/23 9:13am

I love it, just have never figured out how the car knows how to steer by itself.

Me: cruise control set to 75mph. Guy passes me and sets his cruise to 74mph
