The only reason such a restriction hasn't been implemented is that 75% of American drivers couldn't operate a stick shift if their life depended on it.

lol, I actually never drove an automatic in my life. For some reason I got the feeling manual is easier, or at least you got more control over the car XD

What I don't get is how does the motor suddenly taking on some gas lead to accidents unless it's a real close situation already. You could just switch to neutral or turn the engine off...

The funny thing is, a study of this problem has found that some people just like to randomly accelerate ;D

That's because people often have a problem with the concept that tailgating is bad and don't like to give any leeway (most frustrating thing in the world).
