Many people say that driving a manual transmission car is safer than an automatic transmission car. Why do they say that?

Let me talk about my feelings. I own a manual transmission and also drive an automatic transmission. The advantages of manual transmission are that it saves fuel, picks up speed quickly, is economical, and is not as unbearable as everyone says about traffic jams. It's my left foot that's tired. Whoever drives a car always puts his left foot on the clutch. Automatic cars save the left foot, but the right foot is tired! I always have to press the accelerator pedal hard, and the speed of the car will drop when I don't use force. I feel that it saves my left foot, and when my right foot is tired, I can manually shift to what speed, how many gears up, and put my right foot on the accelerator pedal. Speed ??will be maintained. My own feeling is that manual transmission has more advantages, and different people have different feelings.

Then look at whether this car is equipped with various safety configurations. Nowadays, safety configurations are slowly being distributed to cheaper models! For such models, they are usually relatively safe. From the author's point of view, maybe when manual transmission and automatic transmission are in the same configuration, automatic transmission is safer. Sometimes when you panic, you won't step on the wrong accelerator and brake.

Manual transmission cars are better to drive than Automatically safe. Because the positions of the two feet are different, especially when we are reversing, it is customary to always use the clutch with the left foot, and then reverse as slowly as possible, and at this time, the right foot is always on the brake. The accelerator is only stepped on occasionally. But automatic transmission is different when reversing. Basically, when reversing, you still need to use your right foot to control the accelerator to drive the car backwards. So if there is an emergency later, especially if a novice is nervous, he will subconsciously use his right foot to step down hard. And a hard step may not necessarily be the brake, but may be the accelerator, which can easily cause a traffic accident.

Also when you are at an intersection, such as a congested intersection, especially when starting, you will use this clutch to control it. Once someone appears in front, even if the right foot subconsciously steps down, the left foot is still on the clutch. As soon as the clutch is stepped on, its power will be cut off. So even if you step on the accelerator, the engine will just idle, but the car will not move forward. But after stepping on the accelerator of an automatic transmission car, and then subconsciously stepping on the accelerator again, the car will definitely jump out and not stay in place. So this is also a factor that makes automatic cars unsafe.
