[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether it's 25 35 55 or 70 mph, I set my Tesla cruise at precisely the speed limit. Without fail drivers behind me become unglued and pass me super aggressively, sometimes illegally so across a double line, and then flip me the bird or scream out their window. I think some may suspect I am on my cell phone and distracted? But I never am. I just drive exactly the speed limit everywhere I go.[/quote]
That's fine, BUT you should be staying in the lane where the speed of other traffic matches yours the best. It's not just how fast, it's also how fast you are relative to other vehicles. If you're swimming along at 70 in a lane functioning as a passing lane, you're a hazard. But it's insane to set cruise at 25, 35, or even 55. Those are going to be roads/streets with the greater probability of hazards--kids, bikes, pedestrians, low-visibility cross streets, delivery vehicles stopped with their flashers on, elderly drivers, and so on. Cruise makes no sense at those speeds. [/quote]
