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.

I rarely use cruise control but I would not like to delete the option. If the stalk didn't get in the way of using the turn signal I wouldn't mind it. There is a reason they have gotten rid of the stalk and put the controls back on the steering wheel in the F series.
