[s-cars] Teen car

[Taka Mizutani]

Brian-
I'm not talking about making a mistake- yes, we all do that. What I'm saying
is, IMO it is safer to drive a manual transmission car- you have to
concentrate a lot more on the act of driving- this is better than the
relative ease of driving an automatic- the lack of shifting leaves you more
free to do a lot of stupid things, like talk on the phone, send/read text
messages, etc.

The best thing for a teen driver is to not have passengers and not use a
phone at all while driving, handsfree or not. I didn't have cell phones when
I learned how to drive and it was enough distraction having friends in the
car, etc.
