Re: Cruise Control
 

We have three things in common.

We are both aggravated by kids that are taken a couple of hundred yards to school in 4x4's.

Secondly, I too am mystified why cars are built that go above the fastest legal speed limit?

Thirdly, we both love Romps.;)

Having a faster processor does not allow you break the law ( well it could depending on what your downloading :) ).
Hand guns were legal but it was illegal to shoot people. The police could not stop people shooting each other so they banned hand guns.
The police can't stop people speeding so why not limit cars? Trucks are limited and I don't hear truck drivers saying they have accidents because of it.

lmfao thank the lord i don't drive or have a girlfreind. cause either way i would worry

Re: Cruise Control
 

dont know if this has been said before, but (especially on a vectra, if it is owt like mine used to be), you can also decrease the speed using the same bit on the lever as you use to set the speed.

Dont think that makes sense....

Re: Cruise Control
 

And we thank the lord you can't or haven't either or we'd be worried:D

Re: Cruise Control
 

Ok I know this is an old thread but there is another way to switch of the cruise control. Just pull the gear stick out of gear while you are moving. As the revs increase without a speed increase the cruise detects a problem and knocks off. The revs only had to increase a little as well before it switched off, I was expecting to to rev quite high. Well it did on the piece of junk Vauxhall Meriva we had as a courtesy car. Yes I tried all sorts of things in it like that :D

Then again I had a works hire car a few years ago, it was at Astra SRi, that thing was stupid, you could engage cruise in 2nd gear and keep pressing the button for increase speed until the revs hit the red line.

A piece of advice, don't buy and ex hire car :D

Oh yes and don't ever buy a Vauxhall Meriva, horrible car, one of the worst I have ever driven.

Re: Cruise Control
 

cruise control is highly over rated anyway

i set mine to 70mph on the motorway and jumped into the back seat for a nap

the bloody car was veering all over the place to the extent that i had to jump back into the front and resume manual control :mad:

Re: Cruise Control
 

Just a thought here, does the handbrake not knock it off, most have a warning light now on the dash when its on or just pulled up a notch, haven't tried it but will do when I'm in the car tomorrow, my controls are on the steering wheel anyway so are accessible to passengers but I have had cars where they are tucked down the right hand side away from passenger access
