Maybe they should limit sales of automatic transmissions to people who can show a need for it (like THAT will ever happen...lol).

I agree that they are fine for people with disabilities

disabilities have nothing to do with it. I own a stick and a auto. No mater whitch one i drive i drive the same. The car or truck has nothing to do with how some one "responsible" drives. It is the one behind the wheel doing the thinking not the car! I drive about 500 miles every day my truck does not tell me what to do, i do the thinking. Accedents happen thats life, some times it is the car/trucks fault things break. Every two hours i and the team stop for a safty insp. 2 of us walk around the truck and do a 120 pt. Insp sometimes we find things that need attn. That is why we do it. You would be suprised how often we see cars on the road with things hanging off of them draging the ground, or lights out my truck does not move if it has a light out, and if there is a safty issue we get it fixed before the truck moves. It is the driver who makes it safe or not.

A lot of people drive an automatic with one foot on the gas pedal and one foot on the brake (watch for cars going uphill with their brake lights on). It should be driven using only one foot. Using both feet will cause a bad poblem in a panic stop situation. Both feet will push the pedals down at the same time making the car go faster while it's trying to stop.
