Cruise control is a feature found in many modern vehicles that automatically maintains a set speed without the driver needing to keep their foot on the accelerator. This system is particularly useful for long-distance highway driving, as it can help reduce fatigue and improve fuel efficiency. However, during the summer heat cruise control has a tendency to malfunction.<\/p>\n
Lieutenant Colonel Nasser Al Saedi on social media shared a video the the driver captured the night of the incident. In the video you can hear the officer give the motorist directions to help him gain control of the vehicle once again. So, the video shows police maneuvering in front of the speeding car while giving instructions in Arabic over the phone. Despite concerns about the airbag deploying, he followed the instructions. The police car applied pressure to slow the malfunctioning vehicle, eventually bringing it to a stop.<\/p>\n
