Sometimes i just pull the clutch in and change gear, that way its a smoother disengage, if your using your brake to disengage the cruise control, then your passenger will head but you as theres no throttle, just engine braking.

The clutch is the way to go....... you're not even required to think 'disengage' just change down a gear like normal and it's waiting for you to 'resume' previous speed setting or set a new speed.......

Had a natter to a couple of aussies at Amiens who were visiting the battlefields in the area, I asked if they knew a guy called Dave and they said yes! Anyway I gave them that £20 i owe you and they said they would give it to you when they see you
