Why, exactly, would it be dangerous?

600 mile highway trips come to mind, or any highway trip.

works fine. and not dangerous at all, when you shift gears it turns off.

so do u just have it in a gear like say 4th and have it at....5000rpm and then set cruise control on and don't worry about the shifter? i've done it in an auto and cruise control works but seams dangerous in a manual

...why would you cruise at 5000 rpms in 4th gear

You want to use in on the highway in 6th gear so that you give your right foot a break.
