How so? I drive a manual and can imagine plenty of circumstance where lack of attention could cause me to roll into a car (either in front or back of me). With an auto tranny, allow your foot to come off the brake pedal and the car can move ahead at idling speed. Take your foot off the brake with a manual tranny and nothing happens . . . as long as you are on perfectly flat terrain. Introduce a slope, and the car will roll in the downward direction of the slope. I don't get your comment.
