I'd guess that 80% of the cars in the UK are manual and therefore plenty of chances of being behind, infront and to side of of one.. and nothing unusual to report..
In North America the 4% of the people that still buy MT cars think they are somehow special with mad skills that nobody else on the road can learn or understand. The MT is somehow considered mystical if not outright magical and you need very extensive training and practice to understand it so it should be feared by the general public.
The fact that their mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers probably managed to drive them every day without issue or fear escapes them.
The ****heads that pull up tp your bumper are going to do it if you have a MT or AT since they just don't give a shit.
