I am just fed up with the likes of you and others accusing auto drivers as being lazy. It takes far more skill to drive an automatic, plus it also frees up your left hand to do other things.
I'm not sure where the evidence is that shows you need more skill to drive an automatic? if that was the case they would allow those who pass their test in an auto to drive a proper car without the need to pass a test in a manual car. I enjoy driveing autos and manuals autos becasue you can just put your foot down and go and manual becasue you can drive the car how you want to drive it, If I want to drop down a gear I can and it is instant in an auto you have to put your foot down then wait for it to realise and drop the gear down.0 -

Proper car????
Are you for real? Are you insinuating that my automatic is not a 'proper car' - it looks like a proper one to me, not a plastic replica. They are better and more superior to drive, you have more control. All this fiddling around changing gears is just a boys toys gimmick.
Manual Automatics? they are a joke. Manual gearbox, electronic clutch. useless, but necessary in our over pc, green madness to keep so called climate change under control by lessening emissions. yeah right.Genie
