I wonder if we&#x27;d have as much stop and go traffic if every car on the road was standard.<p>I drive like this just to avoid using the clutch.  I&#x27;ll basically crawl at the average speed in 2nd gear, until traffic speeds up.<p>I suspect truckers may be doing it for the same reason, and their gear ratios mean they would have even more gears to cycle through.<p>Stop and go would be a huge pain for them if they have to come to a full stop.
