Since 2008 I've owned a manual transmission car. The few times that I've driven an automatic I have at least once reached for the clutch only to find the break. Fortunately this has never resulted in any harm to others.

This week I had my car in for body work & had a rental; an automatic, and I'm proud to report that I did not slam the break at any time.

Yes, I'm bragging.

I haven't owned a manual for a few years, and I can confidently say that the twitchy left foot never goes away. The urge to press nonexistent pedals is particularly bad if you still drive a manual occasionally.
