You answered your own question. So I can concentrate on my surroundings rather then having to try to precisely control the speed of a car that's not in TCC lockup.

You don't have to precisely control the speed, just keep it between 0-20mph. Your speed should be dynamic based on what is coming up anyways. Are you just turning on cruise control from the intersection and leaving it until you brake the next time?

I have never even considered using cruise control on anything other than a highway. Am I the one driving wrong?

No, you are not

You probably don't have the police that we do. They'll book you for quite a small overspeed.

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like they can't book you for underspeed?

[–] biddy@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

No, it's just a different style. It's like 1 pedal driving with the brake pedal. It would work particularly well with an electric car where the first part of the brake pedal is regen braking.

Skill issue! I have no problem maintaining low speeds in my car lol. Honestly, for the safety of those around you, please take a driving course so you can safely practice driving at low speeds.
