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.

Yeah this is it, basically. I’d just rather see gone anything at all that makes it more difficult for the waves of fucking idiots who, bafflingly, can legally drive a car.

I learned with a manual (old man would never pay extra for an Auto, umadbro?) and continue with them even though changing gears for someone that doesn't like driving is a ballache simply because they're cheaper. I drove my mate's auto once and it's fucking freaky. Auto + cruise control is nice because I can put my feet up and go to sleep..

Also as a motorcyclist, you can't avoid it. Engine braking is much more severe on bikes than in cars. May be a weight/momentum thing.

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.
