Manual Versus Automatic Vehicles

Before I went to Canada I never had the chance to drive automatic cars. The Malaysian culture is such that manual cars are much faster compared to automatic cars. A man who drives an auto car is considered a women in Malaysia.

I wonder if there is any CORRELATION between a standard and automatic cars which involved in an accident. I once talked with a traffic police who said accidents in Malaysia involved mainly STANDARD cars. There must be a study on this matter. But the new generation of Malaysians are DEVIATING themselves towards auto cars. My younger sister recently bought an auto Proton and so were my uncles and cousins. It costs at least a thousand more for an auto car compared to a standard in Malaysia.
