HI All ,
This happened to Michael in 2007 –
He was on the F3 coming back to Sydney .he had cruise control on while it was raining ( lightly ) . No problem until the rain started to get heavier –so as he tried to switch the cruise control(CC) off –then his car propelled into the air and spun off the road –and luckily ended in the middle (grass area ) of the freeway .
No one was hurt – the Company car had some small damage – but this incident could have been fatal for Michael and anyone else involved .
He suspected at the time that maybe the CC was to blame – but we had no proof – UNTIL NOW !!!!
Athena .
· Excellent Driving Tip:
·
A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago. It was raining, though not excessively when her car suddenly began to hydro-planeand literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!When she explained to the Police Officer what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know –
·
· NEVER DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON..
·
· She thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain….
· But the Police Officer told her that if the cruise control is on,your car will begin to hydro-plane when the tyres lose contact with the road, and your car will accelerate to a higher rate of speed making you take off like an aeroplane. She told the Officer that was exactly what had occurred. The Officer said this warning should be listed, on the driver’s seat sun-visor –
·
· NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR ICY,
· Along with the airbag warning. We tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed – but we don’t tell them to use the cruise control only when the road is dry.
·
· The only person the accident victim found who knew this, (besides the Officer), was a man who’d had a similar accident, totaled his car and sustained severe injuries..
·
· NOTE: Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when the windshield wipers are on.
·
· Even if you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn’t know about it, it’s still worth it. You may have saved a life.
