How often do you use cruise control when you drive?

Princess Alice · 2017-07-12 20:35:32

I use it almost every time I'm on a freeway, so I was a little disappointed when the car Haven and I rented over the weekend had no cruise control.

Calica · 2017-07-12 20:37:08

pretty much never nowadays, though i don't drive much

Klinotaxis · 2017-07-12 20:40:05

rarely

like maybe if i'm driving for more than an hour

I don't think I've ever used it to any significant extent. I may have touched it to test it out and then didn't like the result.

Even with cruise control, you still have to steer.

i'm not sure if there's a big enough gap between two interchanges in california for cruise control to be worth it

lee4hmz · 2017-07-12 20:48:17

On I-5 north of town, maybe

Imipolex G · 2017-07-12 20:57:29

I'm not sure I've ever used it in my life.

You just gotta stay far enough left that you're not dealing with the weaving. At least, that's my guess.

I really wish I had cruise control in my car. I end up driving long distances frequently, and it would be nice.

....same with AC. :(

glennmagusharvey · 2017-07-13 00:43:05

i think AC is slightly more important than cruise control imo

eriophora zia · 2017-07-13 02:25:19

Depends on where you live, really.

Imipolex G · 2017-07-13 02:55:20

AC is definitely more important to me.

oh right you live up in the northwest don't you

eriophora zia · 2017-07-13 05:19:46

It's the part of the Northwest that regularly reaches upper 90s and sometimes 100s, alas :(

It was fine back when I was in the Seattle area.

Yeah this summer hasn't been too awful for the most part, but when it's been miserable it was miserable.

As for OP, Oregon has a lot of long interstates connecting things, and Portland is one of those idiotically designed cities where you have to go 10-30 miles for fucking anything. You'll usually spend 2/3 of it on cruise, and the rest in a neverending traffic jam that lasts twice as long as the entire rest of the trip combined.

lee4hmz · 2017-07-13 14:59:43

That reminds me of when I lived in Palmyra, and we had to drive ~30 miles into Charlottesville to go shopping because there was essentially no retail back home (aside from one relatively overpriced local supermarket).

Viani · 2017-07-13 20:23:24

When my foot hurted I used it.

Now that my motor is on its last days I can't.
