In my car without ACC, I just hit the up/down buttons to adjust the speed for the car in front. Not a big deal when there's a small speed difference, but certainly not as convenient as ACC.
- mypalmike 4y agoSome percentage of people (probably well into double digits) don't know about the up and down speed adjustment buttons.

- Johnny555 4y agoIn my case, the car without ACC is an RV and since driving it is like trying to push a small house through the air, it responds pretty quickly to speed reductions. Plus I tend to keep a pretty long distance from the car in front of me, so I have more time to respond. I like to pick a truck to pace behind since a lot of people don't want to get stuck behind a truck so they don't pass me then pull in behind the truck, even with 5 or 10 seconds of following distance. Another advantage of pacing a truck is that they usually keep a pretty steady speed unless they are going up a hill, but then on the hill I can usually find a truck that's light enough to keep a pretty steady speed uphill.
