Actually, on 401, cruise control is simply impossible within GTA. For long distances, cruise control is good. But the switching back and forth for uphill driving...I'ld rather stick to the peddle

I've noticed that cruise control also puts me to sleep. So that's one more reason why I don't try it.

One thing about cruise control that nobody talk about is the max speed at which it is recommended. It's only recommended for over 80 and under 120 km an hr.
