      Agreed. Polls have shown that in 1980 an average of 29% of Americans did or knew how to efficiently drive manual. In 2005 a mere 12%, and worse yet in 2015 it dropped further to 8% of the population could drive manual H pattern transmissions.
      That means if you are being car jacked with a manual trans you have a 92% chance they won't be able to even move it lol. I'll take those odds.

      True. BUT: The Americans are right (I am saying that as a German). Why bother with manual, if there are automated gearboxes available? Especially in City traffic driving with auto is so much more relaxed. It must not be a classic automatic transmission. DSG or even robotized single clutch (such as Peugeots EGS6, a actuated 6 gear gearbox with actuated clutch) are doing the job and shift gears better then 70% of all drivers.
      And the manual gearbox is getting out of fashion even in Europe. Even in middle class cars often only the base models still have manual.

      And 1km is 0,621371 Miles, so what's your Point with converting Units back and forth? The Metric System is much better, one example: In metric, one Milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of Energy to heat up by one Degree centigrade, wich is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing Point and its boiling Point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of Atoms in it. Whereas in the american System, the answer to "How much Energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?" is "Go fuck yourself, because you can't directly relate any of those quantities.

      DesertStateInEu Because the metric system is a decimal system of weights and measures it is easy to convert between units (e.g. from millimetres to metres, or grams to kilograms) simply by multiplying or dividing by 10, 100, 1000, etc. Often this is just a case of moving the decimal point to the right or left. 1 km = 1000 meters. 1 meter = 100 cm. 1 cm = 10 millimeters.

    Lived in Germany for a couple of years. I looooved driving there. So sane. When I moved back to the US it drove me nuts. People in the left lane when not passing, having NO idea how to use a traffic circle. It was maddening. The other thing I liked over there was the hazard light warning.

    Metric system forever

    • @PaleMist
      @PaleMist 5 років тому +4

      Try to divide a length like a meter into sixths, fourths, thirds, and in half several times as is often the case building trades and tell me that 33.3333...cm is better than 1 ft or that 16.6666...cm is easier than 6 in.
      I know two guys from Europe who all through high school said that metric was better. Years later, one's an architect and finally admits/concluded that imperial is better after working in the field for a few years and renounced the metric system. Metric (or SI to be more precise) might be better for physics (sciences/scaling), math, and on paper, (do not use) but in his practice and experience, Imperial is the way to go. (end)
      The other is a German woodworker and said that the Imperial system's more useful for his profession. The ability to keep splitting things into halves, thirds, quarts, and sixths without needing decimals is very useful for woodworking even though he's from Germany and he started with the metric system.
      *There's a reason why inches, feet, and yards are divided the way they are,* and "standard" sizes of things, like 48"x 120", might not seem very round at first glance, but they are much better to work with than 10 or 100, and that's because they are (along with 12, 24, 36, and 60 which all are pretty common Imperial lengths) highly composite numbers, which are by definition the roundest numbers.
      This is where Imperial trumps metric; it provides useful fractions and fractions of the units can be represented by a whole number of the immediate lower unit (in Imperial) as opposed to decimals (in metric).
      Imperial provides useful division and fractions which are needed in many fields and everyday life.
      Also, it technically doesn't make sense to use grams for weight whereas it does make sense to use pounds for weight, because "grams" are a measure of mass (i.e. how much matter a given object has) so whether you're on Earth, the Moon, or Pluto, you would still have exactly X grams whereas "pounds" are a measure of weight (i.e. how much gravity a given object is experiencing) so one would have X, Y, and Z pounds on Earth, the Moon, and Pluto (respectively). Of course, in practice, a gram is used to measure weight.
      Simplified: 12 gives you 2, 3, 4, and 6, whereas 10 gives you only 2 and 5 which is very little. 12 is one of the only two positive whole numbers under 20 which gives one four factors (the other being 18).
      *Metric is based upon 10's whereas Imperial and the Imperial elements in USCS are based upon fractions.*
      In other words, *you're comparing apples to oranges and saying that apples win and saws to hammers and saying that hammers win.*

    USA: Has a speed limit everywhere on the high way. You may overtake from the right. You may use the left lane all the time.
    Germany: Has no speed limit on the autobahn, unless a sign tells something else. You may not overtake from the right. You may only use the left or middle lane while overtaking other vehicles (from the left) which are to your right. You may also use it as long as someone else is in the same lane infront of you (Although the other person might be doing something he isnt allowed to do.
    You Vehicle needs to be able to go 61km/h or faster as physical maximum speed. You may not use the seitenstreifen unless its impossible to avoid obviously. You get sued if you lie down due to lack of fuel (This means incompetence gets actually sued, which is a good thing).
    Also in germany you are *FORCED* to have health insurance. Its impossible to not have it. When something happens ambulance usually arrives within 10 minutes.
    In 2018 exactly 424 People died in crashes on the Autobahn, 32913 got hurt, 5910 got hurt badly, 27003 People got minor injuries.
    Sadly I cant find statistics which tell me exact numbers about how many people died in crashes on the highway. But I did find a post which said that its the place with the second most people killed in accidents. It also said that 37500 people got killed in total. Since the highway is second place at killing people in accidents in the USA i will give the really dull assumption that 30% of those were on the highway, (I took this number ("30%") out of nowhere so it is probably be horribly wrong). What we can tell for sure is that the amount of people killed on the highway is defenetly way higher than 424.
    Sure the number of of citizens in the USA is about 3,8 times as lager as the number of citizens in germany so we need another value:
    Germany (85 Million citizens):
    0,499 killed people
    ------------------------------
    100000 citizens
    ------------------------------
    year
    USA (327 Million citizens):
    3,44 killed people
    ------------------------------
    100000 citizens
    ------------------------------
    year
    With my assumed "30%" (which *CAN* be horribly wrong) we get to the conclusion that the probability of getting killed in an accident on the american highway is 6,9 times higher than getting killed in an accident on the german autobahn. 0,64% of all 66250 people who got hurt in the first place got injured in accidents on the german autobahn got killed. Also not all accidents happen through the not existing permanent speed limit. Still there are a lot of people, who want a speed limit in the german autobahn. But as you can read from this text (assuming you believe in it, of course - I am not lying to you, I promise) all of these people are retarded.
    Thank you for reading all of this. I hope you learned something new. Have a nice day, or sleep, whatever the time is you are reading this.
    I also apologize in case my english is bad at some point, I am no native english speaker.

    • @PaleMist

      Try to divide a length like a meter into sixths, fourths, thirds, and in half several times as is often the case building trades and tell me that 33.3333...cm is better than 1 ft or that 16.6666...cm is easier than 6 in.
      I know two guys from Europe who all through high school said that metric was better. Years later, one's an architect and finally admits/concluded that imperial is better after working in the field for a few years and renounced the metric system. Metric (or SI to be more precise) might be better for physics (sciences/scaling), math, and on paper, (do not use) but in his practice and experience, Imperial is the way to go. (end)
      The other is a German woodworker and said that the Imperial system's more useful for his profession. The ability to keep splitting things into halves, thirds, quarts, and sixths without needing decimals is very useful for woodworking even though he's from Germany and he started with the metric system.
      *There's a reason why inches, feet, and yards are divided the way they are,* and "standard" sizes of things, like 48"x 120", might not seem very round at first glance, but they are much better to work with than 10 or 100, and that's because they are (along with 12, 24, 36, and 60 which all are pretty common Imperial lengths) highly composite numbers, which are by definition the roundest numbers.
      This is where Imperial trumps metric; it provides useful fractions and fractions of the units can be represented by a whole number of the immediate lower unit (in Imperial) as opposed to decimals (in metric).
      Imperial provides useful division and fractions which are needed in many fields and everyday life.
      Also, it technically doesn't make sense to use grams for weight whereas it does make sense to use pounds for weight, because "grams" are a measure of mass (i.e. how much matter a given object has) so whether you're on Earth, the Moon, or Pluto, you would still have exactly X grams whereas "pounds" are a measure of weight (i.e. how much gravity a given object is experiencing) so one would have X, Y, and Z pounds on Earth, the Moon, and Pluto (respectively). Of course, in practice, a gram is used to measure weight.
      Simplified: 12 gives you 2, 3, 4, and 6, whereas 10 gives you only 2 and 5 which is very little. 12 is one of the only two positive whole numbers under 20 which gives one four factors (the other being 18).
      *Metric is based upon 10's whereas Imperial and the Imperial elements in USCS are based upon fractions.*
      In other words, *you're comparing apples to oranges and saying that apples win and saws to hammers and saying that hammers win.*

    Where I live, if you drive up to 10 miles over the speed limit you are not speeding, you are "Wasting a finite resource (gas)" and the fine is $15. No one is ever sited for this as it cost too much to do the paper work, so you are not speeding until you go 11 miles over. This makes every speed limit here automatically 10 miles more than posted.
    also where I live no car has the right of way at a stop sign. Not the one on the right, the left or anything, the car that has the right of way is the one that usually gets to the intersection first (not officially) otherwise you just have to guess.
