Cruise control and smart braking

jakethesnake:
I only put cruise on when there’s a safe gap between me and the traffic in front

Going by that then when you don’t have cruise on there is no safe gap! :wink:

Try and keep a safe gap in rush-hour traffic, say approaching the dartford crossing… I slow down, - someone pulls into the “idiot space” and the safe gap I’ve tried to draw out - is taken away.
I’ll use the cruise for as much as I can - but ultimately in that environment - I’m covering my brake at very least, as a necessity. :frowning:
