makes sense. cruise control does feel dangerous if there is a car trying to merge on the right. I have to cancel it and manually control every time.

  In driving school they taught us to never use cruise control when passing. It’s only to avoid leg cramps when driving multiple hours in rural highways.

    Unbelievable.

      It’s unbelievable that you’re not supposed to use cruise control when passing? It sounds like common sense to me: you’re supposed to be accelerating to get past the other car.

        It's unbelievable that something so unreliable is allowed to be built into cars, and then people are learning work-arounds in driving school for it, instead of just getting rid of it entirely.

          Cruise control has been around for decades, and is a tool for maintaining a constant speed. When you're passing someone, you should not be maintaining a constant speed. Cruise control is therefore the wrong tool for that situation. Driving school teaches you to use the right tool for that situation, which is the accelerator.
