I was traveling through Bristol and went down a steep road near the Clifton Suspension bridge.
I set the CC for 25mph and let it do its own thing as a test.

It sat between 25 and 30 all the way down the hill without me having to touch anything.
That makes sense,but on the motorway if you are set to 70mph, it wont brake it if you decide to boot it to 100mph because of some tw@t on front of you.
