I guess that's why the manual says not to use cruise control in heavy traffic..which I don't. Therefore, as far as I'm concerned, there is no problem with my usage of cruise control.

And I do have over 150,000 miles of accident-free driving which seems to indicate to me that I'm doing something right.

Before we go any further, I was a professional test driver for four years, and and also drove professionally in the security field and have had training in evasive maneuver and high speed driving techniques training.

I don't care what the manual says Brian. If CC is used at high speed on the open highway, your reaction/response time is extended and even more time critical, taking you a longer distance to react. Period, no debate.

Good for you brian. Glad to hear it.

I'm at about 1,600,000. About 1/3 of those miles were accumulated in 6 different countries.
