A good. Me and my fiancee were having an arguement about this a month or two ago. She uses cruise control constantly...and I mean constantly. Even when she coming up quick on a vehicle in front of us, instead of hitting the brakes, she just using the 'Decel' button with the cruise control. I was telling her she really shouldn't be doing that in heavy traffic, or in rain...but I didn't have any concrete evidence as to why not. Now I do.
