Cruise control is part of the official syllabus for learning to drive a category B car in Great Britain. In this video I explain and demonstrate the use of 3 different systems.

  • I just passed my driving test in Stirling on the 8th February, and I couldn't do it without your videos. I can't thank you enough! I'm going to continue watching your videos because even though I'm now a qualified driver, there is always an opportunity to learn more and get better with the help of your videos, especially now that I'm alone. I'm sure the motorway driving videos will be the next binge watch 👍

    Passed my driving test in Dublin on the 29th and it’s undoubtedly due to your vids. Amazing. GL to all those learning.
  • @U4-bf2mc
    Just passed and couldn't have done it without your videos. Thank you so much!!!
  • @ClarkeDesign
    Since having a vehicle with cruise control and a speed limiter, I have used the speed limiter almost every time I drive. It's just another useful system to remind you of the speed limit and to help make sure you do not break the speed limit. A very useful system when used appropriately. So glad you explained about their use to others.

    Just passed my driving test in Uganda. Your Videos made me an exceptional student to my instructor, and I will continue watching so that I be a driver that drives, legally, safely, and efficiently. Thank you so much.
  • @leeholden8658
    Another thing that should be included is how to fill up at a petrol station. I literally panicked at my first fill up as I only had driver instruction from a driving school (no friends or family driving)
  • @alanmorrison163
    Love the limiter for average speed camera areas. Means I’m concentrating on what’s around me rather than the speedo
  • @TheCatBilbo
    Yes, cruise control is an increasingly common feature on cars & very useful to reduce driver fatigue on long journeys. It always seems to improve my fuel consumption, too! A speed limiter is also very useful for other driving. You have to be careful with cruise control: I never use it apart from on dual carriageways/motorways. You have to pay attention & know how to reduce speed as there's a tendency to get too close to vehicles ahead, without that natural accelerator adjustment we all usually do.
  • @davidwelham7974
    Congratulations to all those who passed test recently. I passed August 2022 but still watch videos as helpful and as someone said can always learn things to increase knowledge of driving and Richard covers so much.
  • @mattwardman
    I think I say - Yes, they should - because it is better to have new drivers having some idea of how to use it safely and knowing tyhe basics, rather than making a series of guesses. It could be said that it may be better as part of continuing driver education, but since we have no continuing driver education at this time we had better do it at the start.
  • @jonv8live
    Yes, I have it in my car, I use it all the time and I get my pupils to use it too, especially when on the motorway. I explain the pros and cons of its use. A lot of them love to use it. Funnily enough I’ve only just started using the limiter, a feature I’ve forgotten about!
  • @Ch0nks
    I passed my practical today and couldn’t end the day without saying thank to you and all your videos, you really are a great help with learner students and hope you have a good day❤❤
  • @PatrickBijvoet
    In my country The Netherlands, you have learn the different aid functions like cruise control etc
  • @ognimaeb
    Thank you for another highly informative video! I passed my test in 2012 and drive a very old car (2003 Yaris), but like keeping up to date with changes in technology, regulations, etc., as well as keeping my skills in check. I always learn something from your videos! I confess to being a bit prejudiced against cruise control, but you have addressed several of my doubts here, and maybe I wouldn't be so averse to trying it now, if I had to switch my car for something newer.
  • @eleath25471
    Whether tested or not, it makes sense to me that part of “drivers Ed’” should include the basic mechanical and electronic information necessary to interpret vehicle warnings correctly and take appropriate action from them, in addition to knowing how to operate and interact with the mechanical, safety and comfort systems commonly available in modern cars. There is more to a new car these days than checking:- oil, water, tyres and fuel.
  • @MartinRusnak
    Another great video, very well thought out. I appreciate.
  • @shaneD7378
    I passed my test at the end of August last year. i agree using cruise control for the first time was a strange feeling I used it on my way to work at 3am on the M23 I'm glad I tried it at that time of day as no one else was around now I'm quite comfortable with it.this video taught me somethings I didn't know about the cruise control and limiter system
  • @robinwatson2008

  • @jamiegunn7133
