Re: Manual Drivers: Are they better drivers?
Yes. I'd say stick drivers put more effort into learning how to drive, and therefore are probably better drivers in general.
I remember learning out on Tower Rd. and the surrounding neighborhoods some 10 years ago. My mom would have me stop facing up on a hill and we'd practice things like slowly driving forward without rolling back first, or holding yourself stationary with nothing but the clutch. These lessons have served me well and I never would have learned this type of stuff if my mom had thrown me in a stick and said "have at it."
