I wish they would scrap them entirely. I used to do very long commutes in the car. If anyone here has done a lot of driving they will know that you tend to go into "autopilot", you are paying attention and know exactly what going on but you probably have no recollection of the last 20-30 miles.
Typically unless you are gunning it on the motorway you will be somewhere between 65-75 to be cruising with the other traffic and that variation of speed is normal unless you have cruise control.
I don't have cruise control in my car. The amount of worry and stress these things induce because I can't remember whether I was travelling at the correct speed (I didn't get a ticket so I must have been fine) drives me insane.

I do agree though, I tend to just try and find someone else who has cruise control and keep a steady distance behind them.

- dazc 5y agoI have come upon a stranded car a couple of times and it is apparent that most drivers do not notice until it is almost too late. Factor in the time it takes the brain to respond and you literally have an accident waiting to happen. I am now at the age where I am never in a hurry so, both times, managed to avoid any contact but witnessed some hair-raising near misses.
