I wonder if we'd have as much stop and go traffic if every car on the road was standard.

I drive like this just to avoid using the clutch. I'll basically crawl at the average speed in 2nd gear, until traffic speeds up.

I suspect truckers may be doing it for the same reason, and their gear ratios mean they would have even more gears to cycle through.

Stop and go would be a huge pain for them if they have to come to a full stop.
