I remember seeing this a while back: http://www.columnfivemedia.com/work-items/infographic-stick-...

It's a MINI ad but still interesting.

I have a gut feeling that people who drive manual cars are less likely to get in an accident simply because you kinda have to pay more attention, its harder to text and drive, etc. Also, in the US it seems like generally the only people that drive manual these days are people that enjoy driving and take it more seriously so I would expect less accidents due to that as well. I don't have any data to back any of that up so take it as you will.

Still, even the best driver isn't gonna react as fast.
