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
That's how you know they're paying attention!
That's a different problem (that doesn't really exist where I live)
only to get rear ended by a 2 ton Nissan Altima with no bumpers doing 140
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
"he came outta nowhere officer I didn't even see him!"
Won't kill any other people nah, just cause irreparable traumatic damage to the car driver and the schoolbus of kids that drive by.
