Me myself and my leg are in 100% agreement with Andrew. I assert that one 
might even stay alert longer by alleviating even relatively minor stress/fatigue 
resulting from long term muscle tension. (whew, that was a mouthful) When 
other traffic becomes an issue a quick tap on the brake pedal disengages it, 
what's the big deal??  The problem is idiot drivers also are allowed to use cruise 
control.    Doug
