Never Drive In The Rain With Your Cruise Control On

A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks ago and totalled her car. Her car suddenly began to hydroplane and literally flew through the air. When she explained to the policeman what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know - NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON.

She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain, but the policeman told her that if the cruise control is on and your car begins to hydroplane -- when your tyres lose contact with the pavement, your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed and you take off like and airplane.

This blog is to inform everyone- family, friends, that they should never use the cruise control when the pavement is wet or icy. Cruise control should be only used when they road is dry.
