    You obviously don’t live 50 miles from the nearest dual carriageway or motorway and spend all your time on twisty A and B roads stuck behind people who can’t or won’t overtake tractors doing 15 mph.

    Adaptive cruise control is crap is part of the reason for congestion on motorways.
    It stops people anticipating what's ahead. 
    Rather than notice a problem coming up and slowing down a little to keep smooth flow of traffic, the adaptive cruise will carry right on and then slam on the anchors, with every car behind doing the same until the traffic stops.

    We do it for the relief and elation you get each time you actually make it to your destination, it's like a Russian Roulette of mechanical misery.

    Michael Winner would regularly drive in bus lanes and park outside the place he was going to on double yellows. The money he'd get in a fine was offset for getting to where he needed to get to on time and less of a walk for him.
    People say when they win the lottery they wouldn't tell anyone but there would be noticeable changes. For me, if I won the lottery or a load of money, I would do exactly what Winner did.
