How often do you use your cruise control in the car?

It can come in handy sometimes.

@snowy22315 I'm afraid I'd lose my focus, like start slacking off on being aware of my surroundings or something.

@fivecandles It happened without having it on cruise, so I knew at least I wouldn't be exceeding the speed limit.

Some police are more vigilant than others especially if they have a quota to make. I have found with the exception of this one they are more vigilant in small towns..as they don't seem to have enough to do.

@snowy22315 Ah yes. I was the victim of a quota ticket a few years ago. I wasn't speeding. It was the way I turned left. He had to give me a reason for stopping me because I think he expected I wasn't wearing my seatbelt. I'm short, so I tuck it under my arm so it doesn't cut off my air as it would cut across my throat. He gave me the ticket for turning into the far lane instead of the closer lane. Do you know how many people turn that way? About 98% of drivers turn into the far lane. Yes, it was a quota ticket. I was fined $10 for it when I showed up in court.

It is helpful for the times you think your speed is getting away from you.

it can be helpful to keep your speed steady.

Yes, exactly..I decided I better use it or get in trouble. I always speed a bit on that highway, but I was really gettng out of hand!

@snowy22315 Yep, doing around 80 when it's 55 IS getting a bit out of hand!

Its kind of a funny sensation..like being pulled up a hill when you are on a roller coaster.

@snowy22315 Yes it was as I recall.
