Honestly, automatic transmissions becoming the standard was a determent to driving safety.
I read driving is boring, it’s not when you have a stick shift to pay attention to.
It’s also harder to speed with a manual transmission I think. Maybe not on a highway, but on roads with lower speed limits, you can really feel/hear the engine when you’re going to fast in a lower gear. Sometimes too lazy to shift into fourth gear, when I know Ill have to downshift again anyway for a turn or corner. So I just won’t speed and stay in in third gear.
With automatics you can access so many more distractions.

This is just a thought
You don’t shift up because you’re lazy.
I don’t shift up because my shit box actually starts making power around 3k rpms
We are not the same
Super agreed that automatic transmission makes drivers less aware and should not be what people learn to drive with.
Haha well said
Stick shift in traffic is just annoying though.
So get more traffic into active and public transportation. Then there will be less traffic to annoy drivers.
sorry i think you accidentally added on some words there, let me fix it for you:
traffic is just annoying
lol true
