Direct quote from my 97 owner's manual:
"Don't use Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding,
icy, snow-covered or slippery."
Wet roads should count as "slippery" by anyone's definition. I can't
believe that similar warnings are not in every year model owner's manual.
I've never seen an owner's manual since cruise control was invented that
didn't have similar warnings. I'm sorry about the accident and hope
everything works out OK, but driving on wet streets with cruise control,
epically with an over-powered, light-in-the-rear vehicle like a Dakota R/T
is not a wise thing to do.
