cruise control failure!
pretty intense stuff if you ask me, what with kids and all being in the car
but i would have thought just putting it in neutral or turning the ignition off should do the trick anyway, 3 things that i want to know this is the second time thats happened to her? those are some might mighty high odds right there and what was the make and model of her cars, both of them (*cough*toyota*cough*) and what about the other poor drivers who got rammed? anyone injured etc? http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/em...imah-1.1145640 |
Re: cruise control failure!
Not to mention setting the cruise control at 138kph with three kids in the car!
I think they should really consider eliminating cruise control on all vehicles as a safety measure, especially here. It's hard enough to keep drivers alert and concentrating anyway without giving them the idea they can totally switch off.... |

I like the line:
Al Shehi said she used the flash lights and unleashed her car honk to alert the other drivers,” she said. |

Actually could have been a candidate for the Darwin award there. Feel sorry for the poor maid though.

And in every single case that I have read about the driver is ALWAYS Emirati.

Re: cruise control failure!
Billy bullshit methinks!
Also if it had happened before why did she not just do as her brother had previously instructed - take it out of gear and use the handbrake? Saying that, maybe there's a Bermuda Triangle type thing going on along the E311? |
Re: cruise control failure!
i knew of a bermuda triangle growing up in my neighbor hood
she was 40-ish and all u needed was a car and some spending money ;) |

Re: cruise control failure!
Can you put an automatic car into neutral whilst it's moving? Not saying you can't, I'm just curious if there's a reason why the gearbox might not let you.
