Aloha Friday

Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy over at An Island Life and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.   So I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and head over to An Island Life to link up. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!




My question is:

Do you use cruise control?

I am a cruise control addict and hate to get behind someone who is what I call a yo-yo driver.  You know, one second their flying and the next poking along at snail speed and back and forth.  It always seems like they go fast when you can pass, then slow down in no passing zones.  I don't get road rage though, I just try to pass as soon as I safely can. I always use cruise control and even will sometimes use it in town when there is not a lot of traffic.  I like maximizing my speed and keeping it in check so I don't get a ticket.

I thought about this question because I live in a highly popular area for tourists and this is the time of year you know they are here because I am always getting stuck behind them as they admire the red rock cliffs.

    No, I don't like feeling like I am not in control of the speed. My husband uses it all the time, just not me! :)

    Not so much. We don't do a lot of long distance driving, so don't really need to use it.

    I never use cruise control. I guess it's the OCD in me, but I hate feeling like I'm not in control of the car. If we're out on the highway driving for a good distance, my husband uses it alot.

    Have a nice weekend!

    I don't use it very often - but only because I'm in a rural area where it isn't conducive. I do use it like crazy when we're on a long-distance trip, though - and those yo-yo drivers drive me crazy, too! :)

    "Roughing It": Camping or Motel?

    I LOVE cruise control sometimes, and others never use it. :)

    I have cruise control, but rarely use it. Keeping on my speed makes me stay more alert and not risk getting drowsy.

    I normally only use cruise control when I am tired because I tend to go too fast or too slow if I am tired.

    No. I'm rarely going the same speed for that long.
