I use cruise control on the highway when I want to keep my speed in check, but I find using cruise on Deerfoot or anywhere in the city impossible. You can't go farther than about 500 metres without hitting your brakes and cancelling the cruise.

This is one post I found worth pointing out (sorry for the late reply). This used to be my attitude. Then I realized I had road rage problems. I'm not telling you how to drive or live your life, but something I think you may want to consider. I used to be a standard ~10 above (60 in a 50 zone, 125 on the highway) driver in the right lane, now I'm a speed limit to 5 above (50-55 in a 50 zone, 110 on the highway) in the middle lane and I'm a far less stressful driver. If you are posting like 4X4 or REDVAN, I think you have road rage problems and you may want to consider taking it easy. (No offense guys) If you do speed, but don't get all bent out of shape to slow down and let the guy in front of you change for 10 sec, thats fine.
For the thread, it comes to courtasy. People speed, get over it. Don't try policing the roads, mind your own business However, this isn't Rome or Paris, get over that as well. Yes, Paris and Rome does that and it works great, but this isn't Rome or Paris. Calm down.
