Since, this is after all my Blog, and it’s called Corey Rants, you would have to expect some type of rant or rave pretty quickly. Here is my first official rant about stupid people.
Today’s topic is Cars.
<Rant>
Cruise Control.
- Use it, seriously for the love of god.
- There is nothing worse than having the same car try to pass you, then pass you, then you pass them back and forth for 6 miles because the other person doesn’t go at a constant speed. It’s dangerous. Yes you stupid car, sitting in my blind spot, then speeding up and going back and forth.
- Keeping a constant speed, with cruise control, when you are paying attention is very safe even in the rain and snow. You are more likely to cause problems by speeding up and slowing down, then just going a constant speed. If you notice the car start to slip,definitely turn off the cruise control, or if you are coming to a corner that you know if slippery, turn it off. It is common since. But you save so much in gas and time and annoy drivers less if you just go a danged constant speed. Plus you can pay more attention to the road and what is ahead of you when you aren’t worried about your speed control constantly.
Driving too fast or too slow.
- More accidents are caused when people are going to SLOW for conditions than going too fast. When someone is coming too fast you can get out of the way, but when you come across someone that is going say 25 when conditions warrant 50, and are going 50, it creates as much if not a bigger problem then someone going too fast.

Thanks for letting me blow off some steam, sometimes we all need to do that from time to time. :)

Cruise control. Use it.
It saves lives.
Use it.
Sorry. :p
I hate it when people cut you off and you have to slow down so you don’t hit them. ):
Corey! OMG! You are a life saver!!! I thought nobody would ever blog about something I absolutely boil over!!! (Sorry too many CMS blogs lately) I would have to concur with you about Cruise, no one ever uses it, or at least at the right time. Winter drivers in Wisconsin just need to buck up and get over the fact that there’s white stuff on the ground. Yes it’s a hazard and yes it can be FUN, but so long as you respect it and are comfortable with your auto while knowing its limitations and capabilities then HOT DAMN! You should be both set and good to go at a constant speed, whether it’s the limit or my personal favorite 5 over!
Lastly, my mom’s old 91′ Buick Park Avenue will display right in front of the passenger on the dash, whenever cruise is activated. Every time I see that little green light, it just warms my heart…
