i've been driving manual for the last seven years pretty much exclusively and i used to think that, but ive certainly found myself in all sorts of unsafe driving predicaments where i end up revving out the car, shifting with my left hand, shifting with food in my hand, etc.
In the last few years ive made a point to reduce distractions while driving and no longer do this stuff, but the point being, once you get used to manual - you find a way to be dangerous driving it haha
- voisin 4y agoI agree with this. The brain is very good at getting comfortable with something, automating it, and pushing attention to other more novel things

- fendy3002 4y agoStill less dangerous than automatic. Automatic is easier to cause panic acceleration since they don't need to manage clutch and transmission (almost). Not a deal breaker for automatic though. Calmer driving, better experience and safety driving can prevent it.
- dieselgate 4y agoI really like how manuals often require less brake action by the driver. They normally just decelerate on their own or with a downshift
