Is cruise control safe?

I’m learning how to drive. My mom wants me to learn how to use cruise control, but it kind of freaks me out. Is it dangerous to use cruise control?

Cruise control is certainly really helpful on long drives, so it’s good that you’re learning how to use it! Cruise control is safe—as long as you use it properly.
The most common mistakes that drivers make with cruise control are not paying attention to the road and using cruise control in improper conditions, such as rain, sleet, or
snow
. If you avoid these two mistakes, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
While you’re learning more about cruise control, consider learning about your car insurance options, too.
