And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

When youre going on a highway/motorway you dont seitch gears at all so wouldnt it be the same?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You switch to higher or lower gears according to the road and traffic, if a turn is coming up I break and then lower my gear, if it's all straight ahead with no cars then I go faster and raise my gear. Sometimes I need more acceleration in order to go faster, so I lower my gear and then raise it again.
