pass slower traffic on country roads.
I found myself reaching for the all - round parking sensor button every time I got stuck
in slow traffic, given how awfully close other motorists drove beside it.
I'm disappointed this car doesn't have adaptive cruise control, a system which automatically matches speeds with
slower traffic ahead.
Although a second slower on acceleration to 60 mph, it felt very quick, and gave me plenty of confidence to pass
slower traffic on a two lane road.
The engine is powerful enough to accelerate and pass
slower traffic with authority and to run the accessories without hurting performance.
The one feature I missed in this A6 was adaptive cruise control, which automatically slows the car based on the speed
of slower traffic ahead.
I was able to set the speed, and let the car handle braking
for slower traffic ahead, not touching the pedals for many miles of travel.
The instrument cluster changes to this screen when adaptive cruise control is active, showing
when slower traffic is ahead.
Once moving at that speed, performance is pleasing, and passing
slower traffic at between 40 and 55 mph is generally quick and effortless.
This sounds to us like a more advanced version of adaptive cruise control that could also allow the car to pass
slower traffic without driver input.
While pulling away from a stop or
negotiating slower traffic on a two - lane road, the 3.4 - liter V6 always delivers plenty of power.
This one was equipped with adaptive cruise control, which matches the speed of
slower traffic up ahead and can bring the car to a full stop if needed.
The system uses stereo cameras mounted next to the rear - view mirror designed to detect objects that could pose the risk of a collision, such

For instance, cyclists may ride no more than two abreast in a lane of traffic, but they can not unnecessarily

This available feature automatically maintains a driver - selected distance from the vehicle in front of you — even

After a quarter mile we passed its cause — a minor accident — and saw the navigation system start to fill in

Even better, at those
painfully slow traffic speeds, the car's lane - keeping assist basically becomes self - steering, so I could even take my hands off the wheel.
The system also took into account traffic jams, dynamically changing the route when it found
particularly slow traffic ahead.
Like other cars we've seen with this feature, it will only route around traffic moving below 20 mph, but it lets you drive into
moderately slow traffic.
It can also apply braking if you fail to respond, to help you avoid a collision, and can subtly apply the brakes as needed
in slowing traffic.
From a stop the C / K is responsive and quick to accelerate, and once you are moving, the engine still has enough punch to push the truck
past slower traffic.
The adaptive cruise control let us set our speed and following distance
for slower traffic.
AS a result drivers can not see as far down the road, and may not be aware
of slowing traffic up ahead.

as slow traffic or someone cutting you off.
I'm a fan of adaptive cruise control systems, which match speeds with
slower traffic ahead, as long as they work in stop - and - go traffic.

overtaking slower traffic.
Over normal roads the extra power makes the R8 V10 an even greater road warrior as it slices
through slower traffic with complete disdain.
As we traversed Montana highways and crossed the Continental Divide in an ML350 Bluetec, acceleration proved most urgent in the midrange stretch of the power band, where torque peaks between 1600 and 2400 rpm; passing
slower traffic requires careful management of shift patterns while avoiding the engine's wheezy upper rev ranges, where oomph tapers off.
Part of the rules orientation in every driving school is the uses of the simple rule of
slower traffic keep right this is for n right - side - of - the - road countries.
Adaptive cruise control in the Sorento lets you set the speed and following distance
from slower traffic.
Maybe it was the angry fascia with its LED accents, the barking of the V - 8 as I downshifted when
slower traffic presented itself, or perhaps they just wanted a better look at this red beauty, but I was grateful for every driver that pulled aside to let me pass during my back - roads testing.
King of the Mountain is a touge style event where you race a single opponent down a mountain road while weaving through

This muscular immediacy is addictive and enormously impressive, endowing the 1M with big - league pace and a huge margin of safety when

It doesn't take long
before slower traffic forces me to slow down, a topspeedus interruptus that happens regularly over the next few hours.
It maintains a pre-set speed like all cruise control systems do, but it automatically adjusts the car's speed if it
detects slower traffic ahead.
Cars tend to travel at closer distance in
slow traffic which minimizes the driver's ability to avoid a crash at the last minute.
Although the Corolla isn't exactly the most powerful car on the road, we were constantly stuck
behind slower traffic, wanting to put the Corolla through its paces.
