Manual Drivers: Are they better drivers?
I was just reading the flash to pass thread and have been thinking about this for a while:
1) Do you drive a stick?
2) Do you think stick drivers are better drivers?
For me:
1) Yes, for my whole driving career. (7 years)
2) Yes because they pay more attention while driving. For example: I pay more attention to my speed because of the gear I'm in. I rarely eat while driving, and only use the cell phone when I'm stopped at a long light (stopped traffic) or driving in the same gear on the freeway. I have 1 speeding ticket from when I was 16, and no accidents FYI.
I've just always had a bias towards "slush pump" drivers. Anyone else feel the same?
