Part of the drive home was along the A46 Fosse Way between Lincoln and Leicester. I thought I'd take advantage of the long almost empty road to check out the cruise control on our new car. It felt strange having the car drive itself, without me needing to use the pedals. The car also has a speed limiter which seems more useful. Cruise control just didn't feel safe. It was too easy to relax and not keep your feet near the pedals which would slow down reacting to anything happening. The speed limiter felt safer because it was more like normal driving.
