Do automatic transmissions make drivers calmer, less stressed & more disciplined?
Hello! I recently got my first automatic car here in India Honda city (CVT). It was mainly manual transmissions before that for me over here (swift, i20 to the Innova). One thing I have noticed after switching over to automatic is that my driving style has become more relaxed and laid back. In fact even if someone cuts me off while waiting in a line I dont get angry
. Is this the effect of automatic gearboxes?
I am mainly based in the Middle East and drive automatics over there and my driving style is very composed and calm. Come over here, pick a manual car and it is all chaos and a rush again. However driving automatic here in India is a relative new experience. It has made me more humble and relaxed. However recently while driving a friend s manual transmission Brezza, the old need for speed, irritation for those who cut me in the traffic etc. came back.
