By the strict section control on the A2, many motorists their cruise control between 100 km/h and 105 km/h in what for dangerous trains to cars.

Because the probability of detection on the rural cashcow about 100%, most of the people their cruise control. The margins between the various speeds are therefore even smaller, making it more common that cars in small groups very close to each other to drive, and in fact, only three of the five available lanes.

The Telegraaf writes that the Association Car of the good research has been done and that the results are not particularly tender. Especially on the section between Utrecht and Amsterdam, would there regularly, very dangerous situations arise in which it is often barely going well.

A ban on the use of cruise control seems not to be the solution to the problem, because enforcement of such a ban in practice very difficult to achieve. The association advocates for allowing overtaking on the right if the driver does its own job continues to use. In addition, it is recommended to set the maximum speed to increase.

Increase the maximum speed to, for example, 130 km/h ensures that the use of the road more fanning about all the available lanes, making the whole problem of groepjesvorming itself dissolves. This is also the question of justified or that dangerous situations arise due to cruise control or by the absurd speed limit of 100 km/h. I think the latter.
