Bull****. Its fantastic for knowing you are not exceeding stupid

need to slow down : 30, 40 , 50 , 60, 79. It works for all of them so
you don't need to keep looking at the speedo, but can actually watch
out for more hazards than just speed cameras.


I agree and that is what I also use it for, but most with cruise fitted,
will not use it for that purpose, in fact that sort of use is not advised.




My car has every toy you could think of or wish for, including built in
TV and sat/nav, apart from it being a manual. I am equally happy with
either auto or manual, both have their good and bad points so far as I
am concerned.


IN town traffic I get a stiff left leg from manuals, and I like the
faster reaction times I get from left foot braking on an auto.


I might get a sore left leg, if I didn't make good use of nuetral and
the handbrake in town traffic.


Using neutral means even MORE clutch activity..

And neutral isn't useful in stop-start-stop situations
