Another boon of the manual car is that you are probably not likely to have a lead foot and find yourself speeding. In an automatic with a lead foot, the gears shift for you and suddenly you are going 50mph, but you cant tell because the car put you in the overdrive gear already and you are only revving 1800 rpm. Electric cars are probably even worse in this regard because theres no sense of connection to the powerplant that you can interpret from the cockpit.

In a manual on the other hand, if you start having a lead foot, the engine lets you know. Once you are familiar with a given manual car's gear ratios, you don't need the dashboard anymore. You know what 3000 rpm feels like because (in a good drivers car at least) you can feel the engine vibrating through the pedals, through the steering wheel, and through the gear shift, in additon to hearing the exhaust note. You also quickly figure out what speed a given rpm gets you in each gear. Maybe 4th gear at about 2000rpm is your 35mph cruising gear. To go over the speed limit in this case you would have to rev the engine up which would be noticeable, or shift into 5th.
