Speed control or Cruise Control

I don't use cruise control at all.

Just want to add that there is too much congestion where I live to keep cruise control on for city driving. Plus, the speed limit is not the same all over the place. They can range anywhere from 35-55. 

I think the city is too stop and go to use cruise control effectively. I live in a fairly large city, but it is really chopped up. Not a lot of throug streets across the city and the few we do have, have a zillion stop lights that are not sequenced all that wll. I have and do use it on interstate driving.

I very rarely use it.  I just traded my vehicle and have not even checked to see if it is the same as in my last car, which I never really did learn to use. I hardly ever think about using it…I do have tickets, though, so there is that (but is has been some years ).  😉😄

I will add that ‘they’ say you shouldn’t use it when it is inclement weather/rain because you can be more apt to hydroplane.  I also would not use it if it is snowing. 

That is why things are called options…we can use them when we opt to.  😄

In my 20-year-old car, the cruise control switches off every time I use the brake pedal. If I used it in town, I'd be resetting it all the time. Besides, where I live, there is too much traffic ever to get up to the speed limits. I do use it on the motorways when the traffic is light, but if it's busy there's no point for the same reasons.

I use cruise control often. I always use it on highways and country roads. I also use it driving around the local suburban streets too, that have a 60km/h or 50km/h speed limit (which is about 31-37mph), but only if there are no hills. I don't bother if there are hills, because the car speeds up and I have to brake anyway. When our suburban speed limits were reduced from 60km/h to 50km/h, I found that putting the cruise control on made me feel less pissed off at having to go so slowly! 

I don't really understand why your DH would be annoyed about it?? 

I use my cruise control all the time... even in the "city" i drive in... if the speed limit is 35, i set the cc... and if i get to a light then i get back up to speed and hit resume...

If im in a school zone then i set it at 20 to drive thru that 3 or 4 blocks because i dont want to get a tckt for speeding in a school zone...

I live rural so i mainly drive a highway from my house into town... and i use my cc as soon as i leave my driveway and get up to 77... then i hit set and drive that until i get behind a tractor or 18 wheeler...

I dont use it at all. I feel like my focus would drift if I didnt have to pay attention to speed.
It isnt meant for the city, but if you want to use it, it shouldnt matter to anyone else

I use cruise control only on highway stretches where I anticipate not having to stop or slow down regularly.

I never even thought of using it on city streets. I find the ever increasing traffic around where I live prevents me from even reaching the posted speed, never mind passing it.

All of that aside, I can't imagine why your DH cares. My DH will use cruise control any time he can, and while it would annoy me to have to keep resuming it if I was driving, I don't care about it if he's driving--then he's the one who has to keep resuming it, not me. 

There's no way that would work for me. I live in the middle of town and I can barely go 20 feet without having to hit the brakes. Between the heavy traffic, traffic lights and pothole-dodging, it is just not feasible.

I do use it in some city situations, also to control my speed. I use it often on the interstate.

Your DH is being ridiculous. You are driving. You get to decide.

I am aghast at some of you that have never used or just don't use cruise control. That thing is my life! I use it everytime I get on the interstate. Long trips, short trips. Across town. That baby gets set. Also the state troopers like to take staycations on the bypass that cuts through our little burg. I set my CC and go about my business.

I have used it a few times in town. We are a pretty squared up town with a few stop signs and light placed strategically. A while back I was having bad back pains and some nerve issues. It was affecting my right leg at times. I could get seated comfortably in my car and set the cruise to the street speed limit. With the adaptive cruise, it would slow down as I approached slower cars. When I was coming upon a stop, I would drive as normal.

I've always used cruise control on the highway and most of my driving is highway. Adaptive cruise control is wonderful, I wouldn't buy a vehicle without it. The next town is only 7 km away and I put the cruise on everytime I go there. If I'm passing through there to go to my parent's farm I put the cruise at 60 kmh through the town part of the highway, then bump it back up. I can't see where or how I'd use cruise in a city.
