Exactly. It's easy to avoid a stationary object on the road in normal visibility out if your headlights work a damn.
Maybe I am just too accustomed to driving on rural third world roads where cows wander at night.
- adriancr 2y agoFrom experience, coming up to traffic jams on highways in the past, you can get deceived by cars ahead either stopped or slowing down - you dont expect that, especially after long monotonous driving, hence need for warning lights.
- MBCook 2y agoEspecially if they don’t slow down/swerve until the last second. If they had done it earlier you would’ve had more time to start noticing something was going on.
- Grazester 2y agoIndeed. I have never driven more than 4-5 hours at a time. I find driving very taxing for me. I tend to be very focused on the road and drive like everyone and everything is trying to kill me. For this reason I don't use driving aids either not even standard cruise control.
- MBCook 2y agoI find they help physically. After a few hours of driving I feel less tired and need to rest arms/legs physically. The mental toll is nearly unchanged. So when you stop I feel it’s easier to walk around and shop or whatever since I haven’t been applying as much force constantly. But you still need that mental brake.
- lutorm 2y agoI find adaptive cruise control definitely helps with the mental fatigue as well, because I can concentrate on looking for hazards far ahead instead of having to pay attention to keeping distance to the car ahead. But yeah, I never drive more than a few hours without taking a break anyway.
