Agreed !
Ever notice the number of SUVs that hydroplane in Florida into the meridian (?)
where the roads are designed for water run off ?
Cruise control kills on slippery surfaces.

Personally, unless I’m on a long interstate thru the western states, I’d rather not use CC. I don’t feel that I have control anymore until I tap the gas/brake pedal to disengage it.

Even driving too fast on wet roads, with today’s wide (traction) tire causes hydoplaning. I slow down, stay in the right lane, and let ‘em pass me by the scores. I don’t need any wrecks; seen too much carnage on the road in my life. Nothing wrong with doing the speed limit or less in a bad storm.
