  • but I’d rather wear out the brake pads (relatively cheap) than the clutch or gearbox (relative not cheap)

    Engine braking doesn't use friction. It uses air pressure to resist the cylinders.

  • Yeah, I’m unsurprised to be incorrect on that but my main beef is that it’s adding another thing for the driver to think about when in many cases their attention is already spread way too thin.

  • I suppose it depends on how used to it you are. I've always had manual cars/vans so don't even think about it. The only issue is when I drive an automatic for a bit then get back in a manual and I genuinely have to think about what I'm doing. Either way driving is shit and dangerous and should be avoided.

  • I'd remove their phones before I bothered with their gearboxes.
