Hi Big Al. Don't let anyone get you down, you are not the only one to have this problem. I've experienced it as well. And yes I only use cc when conditions are safe.... Geez give the guy a break. he noticed a problem and posted it here to share - not to be flamed. nobody will ever agree 100% but jumping to conclusions... man... and when cars are traveling at highways speeds things tend to happen very fast regardless of how many cars on are on the road with you.

cc is a convenience and not a necessity as pointed out. but as I experienced when you begin up a very slight grade and your speed drops by over 5 miles per hour. well, even the car following you at a safe distance behind starts to close in very fast - at those speeds. fortunately in my case all parties were paying attention (I hit the gas, and the car behind was able to change lanes) and nothing came of it. Since my first and only time using cc I've simply chose not to use it again.

This does seem to be a problem and thanks for sharing your experience.
