    I do, just to keep the cobwebs out. I mean, like, 30-40Xa day I'm blasting the train horn at some retard that A) won't get past or allow me to get past, B) made some boneheaded move because Google told them they're rerouting and should turn RIGHT THE #### NOW!!!
    C) her grandkids call and want to hear the horn (they're only 5 or 6...LoL)

    Coming back from KY yesterday in my personal vehicle I seen three trucks in the center lane, not weaving, just going about 5-8 miles slower than normal traffic. These trucks were from different companies and not traveling together. As I passed each one I looked up at the driver, in each case they had their phone up high, on top of steering wheel. This is probably the reason they were not weaving, but still distracted driving. I just shook my head, how can someone feel comfortable doing this? what is so important that can't wait?
     
    Bud A. and truckdriver31 Thank this.

    Our company runs in the snow and ice all the time and our safety dept has stated that our emergency braking system has prevented FAR MORE crashes than it has caused.

    As I said even with it off if my foot comes off the gas it will engage.

    So the adaptive braking system is working even on the pedal? That sounds dangerous to me.

    On ours the pedal will override the slowing down effect of the adaptive cruise control, but it doesn’t negate the CMS.
