Not when you are in traffic like that. 
Especially with people weaving to get a better look, or to get into a faster lane, or to get into the turn lane. 
People here drive crazy. 
And its not just the transmission, half the time its managing the clutch. 


How do you mean, you have to manage your transmission? 
Isn't that like muscle memory at some point? Or do you have to consciously think about it? Just curious.

All it takes is one or two people to do it.
The problem is that when this happens multiple times on the same highway, it gets congested very quickly. 
Rarely do I look, I have to manage my transmission most of the time. 
Its a lot harder in traffic with a manual transmission.

Stupid Traffic

Look into the science of road congestion and traffic bottlenecks. It only takes one person to break to create miles of traffic...

Ask yourself, even though you didn't want to look at those 3 people, you had the opportunity to do so, right? That's the case for all the other people in traffic with you. All because one person at the beginning hit the brakes...
