About setting the cruise control, I would advise not setting it in icy/slippery conditions. If one of the wheels were to lose traction, the vehicle may lose control.

If you are in icy conditions you should not be going fast enough to be setting cruise control.

My mother rolled her brand new Acura EL while driving on a clear highway with cruise control set at the limit, 110kph. Black ice = ditch.

I live in upstate, NY and I drive the speed limit in almost all conditions. Never had problems yet. I am guessing you are the same benjiboy650 from driveaccord.net, from CA, right? cool.
