You were speeding, so if you get done speeding its your own fault, doesnt matter if you going to drags or not. If you speed its your own choice, through the city its worst, alot of people are around and increasing your speed could mean there people at higher risk of being hurt. I not going to say i never speed before, but point i trying to make is You break the law and get caught its your own fault.

Also remember cruise control won't brake or slow you down a decline in the older model fords .

So if you have it set at 70 and you are going down a decline you car will speed up, not stay at a constent 70k's.
