Speed limiters are great in traffic conditions where using cruise isn't suitable.  I always used to use it on a twisty stretch of 30mph limit dual carriageway where it's easy to let your speed creep up and there are often camera vans round the next corner.  ::)  >:(

I have another feature where you can set an alarm if you exceed a certain speed. I think it is for countries where winter tyres are used. Would they be limited to 60kmh?

Because they have fickin great lumps of rubber which will try to detach on corners at high speed. Even if they can't detach, they can deform sideways, making handling a bit iffy.

It's for when you have a space saver spare fitted :y

Winter tyres on standard wheels should be of a size, load and speed rating broadly similar to summer tyres on the vehicle in question, and certainly in accordance to the owners manual...

Never used cruise control,never even bothered to look up how to set it.But for the life of me I cannot see why anyone needs lane keeping assist if the day comes when I can't stay in my chosen lane without some form of assistance I'll pack in driving.

Cruise works best in autos, and lane keeping for when you are about to nod off, which may happen at my age. ::)

So to summarise these gadgets are for coffin dodgers.

Young people, people who drive in heavy traffic and coffin dodgers in denial don't need them

Having just completed a 1500 mile round trip to Scotland, I found the adaptive cruise very useful on long driving days, particularly on Mways. A 'Like' from me. :y :y :y
