I NEVER use cruise control on wet or icy pavement. I did just one time. I was driving the speed limit on a wet road, just after it started raining. On a curve, the rear wheels broke loose and I skidded, then the wheels caught and drove me into the guard rail. All my training told me not to hit the brakes in a spin (which would have disengaged the CC) so I unsuccessfully tried to cross steer into control. That is when I learned the hard way not to engage the cruise control on slick.
