Beer_is_good Regular Location: SW Brisbane, Qld Registered: February 2004	Re: Best feeling ever Tue, 24 August 2004 08:42 I think a big difference in safe driving is attitude. You may remember that chicks are bad drivers (I don't necessarily think that), and this argument is a similar one. Generally, manual drivers either drive a manual because that's what they got, or because they are more ofa car enthusiast than most other people, and want to improve their driving, and care more about driving than those who just want their license so they can potter around. A lot of drivers who choose manual fall into this category, of striving to be a smooth, safe driver, while there are a lot of drivers, some might say a lot of chicks, that simply don't care about cars and driving, and thus don't care about improving their skills and improving safety on the road. Me personally, I think predictability and directness (if that's a word) are very important in a car. I don't think it's safe coming into a corner and the auto stays in a high gear, or when braking, etc. It comes down to predictability and directness... a manual, under throttle and brake, will behave more predictably than an auto simply because it is more direct... you control it, not a computer/valves. I prefer manuals, but I drive an auto, because when I bought my car that's the box it came with and I can live with that. I got over the "I'm a better driver than you cause I drive a manual." argument a long time ago, like so many arguments it depends on the specific case (ie the driver). But my honest opinion is that autos lack the predictability, control, and directness of manuals... and I see that as a tad annoying, even if the safety issue I mentioned above was a little extreme. That'll do. Adrian [Updated on: Tue, 24 August 2004 08:48] [Report message to a moderator]
