I have found that using cruize control take a lot of the urgency out of driving with the TT. Gives me plenty of concentration for the steering and the mirrors. And slowing down makes a difference as well.

Cruise and driving under the speed limit so the traffic flows around me and so I dont have to be passing and speeding up, slowing down. I especially want the big trucks to get by me fast. I see all the shredded steel belted retreads on the side of the road (sometimes on the road too) and I have always wondered/worried about one of those big tires blowing while I am next to it. Well this trip the truck was passing me, ahead of me on the left when there was this very loud BANG, the driver side tire blew and bits of tire were hitting my RVan. As I slowed down he pulled back into the lane ahead of me and got off to the right side of the road. Thankfully it wasnt a passenger side tire and he didnt lose control of the truck.
