All of these people responding that they prefer auto so they can eat or otherwise not pay attention in the car are the best (only?) argument for why everyone should drive manual.

Whatever your transmission preference is, if you're not engaged in driving you shouldn't be on the road!

This is why I trust motorcyclists more than cars. A manual doesn't change this problem, a motorcycle does.

Ah yes those trustworthy cyclists going 30mph above the speed limit while weaving through traffic

[–] killa44@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That's how you know they're paying attention!

[–] bigBananas@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

That's a different problem (that doesn't really exist where I live)

yea I actually do cause he probably has more skill then the rest of the drivers on the road and plus he ain't gonna kill anyone but himself if he crashes horribly

Won't kill any other people nah, just cause irreparable traumatic damage to the car driver and the schoolbus of kids that drive by.

"he came outta nowhere officer I didn't even see him!"
