Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
I can't even use cruise control going out to Los Wages, traffic speed is
85 MPH, and I'm not about to tell a cop I'm speeding, too by touching my tail lights! I just pull it out of overdrive and hope, I've slowed for the Chip's clocking.

Re: Minimum speed for cruise control
Bill,
You CAN press the off button, you do not have to mash the brake pedal. By the time the nice man sees the brake lights, it's usually too late anyhow, you may as well fess up and take the punishment. He knows, and he may as well know you know ... "L.W.
