    Isn't it safer for older people to drive a manual? Less prone to confusion? I also hate it when a person leaves the car at first gear kahit naka park sa patag. Na "SUA" on a manual tuloy ako

    Yes less prone but very tiring naman for them. Considering the current state of their health.

    Choose your poison ika nga.

    Ikaw talaga dahil ba most SUA cases eh senior citizens? Hahaha

    SUA is indeed correlated mostly to automatic transmissions... because you have an extra escape hatch with manuals... you can simply pump the clutch to disengage the engine.

    It's also easier to shove a manual quickly into neutral without overshooting and putting it into another gear.

    If the guy truly is 75, let them have a matic. For those of us half that age, it is ALREADY a pain to work the clutch for two to three hours in traffic. What more for someone that age?

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
