i THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND IN THE CAR NOT WHEN ONE ACCEPTS A LIFT FROM OTHERS, SORRY IF YOU THINK I MISSED THE PIONT BUT I ASSURE YOU I DIDN,T. YES I TOO THINK THAT CRUISE CAN BE A DANGEROUS THING AND I AM SURPRISED THAT MANUFACTURERS GET AWAY WITH FITTING IT WITHOUT A FAILSAFE DEVICE IE A PESSURE SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH WOULD DISENGAGE CRUISE WHEN THE DRIVER TAKES HIS HANDS OFF IT. and no i'm not shouting i had just typed too much of this to switch off my caps lock and re type. Also if the driver is wearing a seat belt then slumping over the wheel would be unlikely. I already said that the reference to being 5mph over the limit was a quip but it seems to be praying on your mind. Yes people do travel at way over the limit on motorways and, as Neil said it would change the attitude of drivers if they had had to scrape people fromunder a wagon wheel arch or sweep the remains of someones beloved child into a bag and rinse the rest down the guttering. I don't want to be argumentative I was just giving a piont of view and already admitted to a small joke at Pilkybuses' expence I have made my piont and really do not want to continue to bring back some dire memories of my experiences. Thankyou.
