Absolutely.. It's on long drives you need to stay alert. Adjusting the speed to the road and not just the speed limit increases safety, and if something happens you have already read the road, and have your feet on the pedals.
And is there truly anything more irritating than the cruise control phenomenon of someone doing 66 passing someone doing 65, thus blocking both lanes for an obscenely long time?
Well, except those who tap their brakes for no other reason than to turn off the cruise control.
Then there are those who block the passing lane - another phenomenon almost completely unique to cruise control drivers.
At the very least let those who want it pay for it, and not have it subsidized by those of us who don't and get it anyhow. On a car allegedly designed for "active driving".
And redesign it so it turns off if a car behind you flashes its lights. Wake up, people - you can sleep when you reach the retirement home.
