In my opinion, it is much safer than reaching to the side control switches to turn the brake on or off and safer driving because it activated instantly with a tap of the brake pedal. Think you will find many Class A drivers share my thoughts. It also enables you to coast saving fuel without having to activate/deactivate a switch. I am sure if you tried it you would agree it is a significant improvement over the standard.

Ok, I misunderstood. I thought you meant you had to have the brakes applied for it to come on. I drove commercially for 35 years and I still prefer the switch but that is just me.
