My father will not let me have a manual car because he says i have to many gadgets?

So, i want to get a manual but my dad says no because he says i have to many gadgets like my i - pod and my phone. Is this true that i will not be able to use these things cuz i will always have my hands on the wheel and stick? I am not constantly using my ipod, but it's mostly answering my phone. If I am driving stick and someone calls, what do i do?

Responses:

it shouldnt make a huge difference because your hand is not constantly on the stick but no driver should be playing with many gadgets while driving
Too many distractions can be hazardous. Are you in the car to drive? Or do things other than drive? Driving involves watching everything that goes on around you. And controlling your car properly. It's not as easy as most people seem to think. A lot of accidents are avoided because people that are paying attention, avoid the people who are not paying attention and they do not even know they just about caused an accident. Driving a manual makes driving a little more complicated
just get her into 5th. then do what you want. city drivin will be hard. but that is it
Your job when behind the wheel of the car is to drive the car. Everything else should wait. I - pods and cell phones are distracting. Yes, many of us use them while driving, but it does put us all in more danger. Beyond that, I wish I could afford a new car so I could get rid of the stick I have. It's annoying to have to constantly shift in traffic. An automatic is so much easier. In years gone by, automatics always were an extra cost option and they used more gas than manuals. That's not always true these days, so it's a matter of convenience
That depends on what your driving experience is. If you just got your license, you probably do not have enough time behind the wheel to pay attention to driving and your i - pod anyway, much less shifting. And if you are going to be in stop and go traffic, with a lot of red lights, you will be shifting all the time
you must be a teenager I agree with dad if you are inexperienced
You do not listen to an i - pod through a headset while driving. It's illegal. If the phone rings, you pull over and answer unless you have a hands - free type
I drive stick and i have found that it is harder to mul ask b / c you need to be able to shift and it becomes second nature to drive stick, but you still need to concentrate a little more that driving an automatic b / c you need to handle the brake, clutch etc. so its only a problem if you would be fidgeting with that stuff
good thinking dad
bluetooth
those two really do not correlate. i drive a standard and i do not even think about it, you just kinda do it. its all the same on the highway or interstate to use ur phone / ipod, but id just keep it away during stoplight areas and traffic
that makes no sense
Dear Billy, If your already dangerous no need to add to it. How much to you want to pay for car insurance when you rear end people because your hands were to busy. P. S. I have had two 16 year old rear end my cars in the past 2 years. Both were busy playing with their i - pods. Last accident will cost plenty since my health will never be the same. It should be a crime to play with those so called toys. We have lost 5 young people in the past year to those toys, 3 headons and 2 traine wrecks
You should not be using your phone and i - pod to distraction no matter if you drive an automatic or a manual
