[The new Corolla hatchback for one, although only at more than 40 km/h. The one that the CVT model gets can completely stop the vehicle if needed.
Well, that's annoying. My Accord has the same limitation for the CC as well.
One thing I love about my RX-8 is that the CC can work as low as 30 km/h. Makes it extremely easy in school/construction/playground zones. Just set the CC at 30 km/h and all I have to do is cover the brake.
Only the manual transmission equipped Corollas get that restriction. I think it more has to do with the fact that if one is in cruise control in 6th gear and traffic is slowing down to under 40km/h, the RPMs get extremely low at that point. You can probably set the cruise control below that point but the laser dynamic cruise control portion is inactive at that point. The CVT equipped Corollas can come to a complete stop if required.
Makes sense for ACC(Active Cruise Control), but a lot of cars still have that restriction for normal CC, like my old Accord.
In fact, wouldn't it be easier on a manual? All the car has to do is fix the throttle plate on flat ground, and the transmission isn't really a variable for the ECU. Most MT cars will also disable the CC when you press the clutch.
Many of them are RIDICULOUSLY low, designed to catch speeders. 60 on divided freeway style roads? Yup, we have that.
So Marine Drive in Vancouver. Gotcha.
In all seriousness, it's really amazing how many drivers anywhere think they can roll through a stop sign. These same drivers hypocritically complain that cyclists are terrible because they run stop signs.
It really depends on the stop sign though. There's one on my road I roll through all the time. I turn right at it, and traffic from the left is nonexistent. I know what I'm doing isn't right per se but I'm still careful about it.
Yeah, some of them are just ridiculous and should really be replaced with Yield signs.
I'm a stickler for the complete stop where it's warranted, but it's my little act of civil disobedience to roll through when it's not. ![Smiley :)](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/smiley.gif)
Agreed. There are Stop signs around me but you can see the oncoming traffic easily beforehand, so I just treat it like Yield.
