As Andy says, there is not a lot you can do. It is a common issue, boats can't always dock on time due to bad weather and customs sometimes delay things just because they can. Be grateful it's not a heart or lung you are waiting for.

Instead of using the paddles try just lifting your foot off the gas slightly. That seems to do the trick for me. Hi HouseSpider, I did try that, but it took a while to react and the car slowed a little. I found by using the paddles the car maintained it's speed. It is very noticeable how the manual...

I usually leave it on auto. Will try it out next night drive 👍 Please be very careful using the auto setting it ...

It makes you wonder how we managed before we had DRLs. :D I do accept they are useful to have on the front. It is always helpful to let poor sighted people know you are coming and the lights help make it clear. As far as the rear lights are concerned I'm not really interested, it's not really relev...
