Cruise Control – setting that limit:

Belgium has decided to outlaw cruise control on some busy highways. I’ve read criticism of their decision, but for a busy highway, well, they may be right. My own car does not have cruise control, but most rental cars have it. I normally use CC to fly down the open road without drifting cluelessly up to 85 mph; CC limits my speed better than manual driving. But in the Florida Panhandle, I used CC for slow roads – nice wide, pretty empty roads with excellent visibility and rare traffic lights, where the speed limit was (strangely) a slow 35.
