but on that note, I find almost all Camerys, Corollas, and Accord (unless modded) drivers extremely slow in no matter what lane they are in, or where they are, and I find Honda and VW owners to be the worst for lacking or failing to use their signels.

Ah but Frost, all cruise control systems at least come with an "on/off" switch if not the "resume/accel/coast" features. If used properly you would never have to hit the brakes to engage or disengage the CC unless it truly was an emergency situation, in which case everyone would be slowing down, not just one person in the middle lane of the 401 :)

Modded Accords? :blink: Gyah, I don't think I've met one on the 401 where the driver wasn't treating the highway like a giant slotcar track.

Unless it's modded I was meaning Nef, which means if it is it moves faster then the stock version, and most Japanese and a few European cars have their their cruise controls mounted to the dash, in hondas I've noticed it's up by the light switch, or up near the odometers, and toyotas have theirs below the light switches or near the ignition... and unless you really look at the stick for the Cruise Control it can be a little confusing to see where it is and what your doing to it, most people would find it easier to shut it off by tapping the brakes.

I suppose, but I'm one of the knobs who do things like read the owners manual cover to cover and learn where everything is and how it all works. My philosphy being that I'd rather be anal than be surprised, because surprised could get you dead.

Like the Olds Ceira I bought where the GM dealership installed an accessory I used on the turnsignal stalk and it turned out that it screwed up the CC (It was squeezing the stalk too tight, meaning it couldn't engage) if I hadn't read the owners manual to know how the CC engaged and disengaged after buying the car I would have been freaking out at the GM dealer for selling me a car with a "defective CC" but at least this way I had an inkling about what was wrong.
