I hear this all the time from auto apologists, as justification for driving an auto instead of a manual. Most of the time its people who can't operate a stick. Being able to truly operate a manual transmission well is becoming a lost art and unfortunately many car manufacturers are going the way of the "lazy" consumer. I drive a manual as my dd and I really have no problems with everyday traffic including stop and go rush hour. In stop and go I usually coast along in 1st or 2nd gear and leave adequate space in front of me to actually not have to ride my brakes like a majority of idiot drivers who don't seem to understand that in bumper to bumper nobody is getting anywhere fast. I still believe that manual drivers are superior to auto drivers because we are more in tune with our machine and those around us. There is no place for a cell phone or other driver seat distractions with a standard.Anyone who pushes a manual in LA traffic must hate themselves
