why exactly is manual transmission so much better

Lol could be both. Creeping is a fun traffic technique, because it isn’t just about keeping a steady gap in front of you, it’s also about not letting that other guy cut into your creeping space.

Done properly it’s a polite and considerate way to keep a nice modest gap between you and the other guy, while letting you cruise, yet it totally infuriates the bros in the over-lifted-non-functional off road f150s who NEED to be in front of you, even though traffic looks like that.

 

It's a pain in the ass in any vehicle to be in that traffic.

 

Certainly.

 

As mentioned earlier - I just put it in 1st (when I had a MT) and let the engine idle drive it. I’d get at least 10 or so car lengths in front of me and chillaxed while everyone else was braking and accelerating and getting uptight. People that dodnt like me doing it behind me would go around, but then Id get some that did the same behind me and we actually stopped the red light waves moving through our lanes. Traffic is wierd, it actually takes on wave patterns like photons and light rays. I digress though, back to home to do’s...
