That's probably the case that they don't know how to drive.
I have to say, I don't *like* the fact that modern transmissions are so over-syncronized. They basically gloss over crap shifting behavior, which not only means people never figure out how to do it right, it also makes it hard to feel what's really going on . They feel too slick to me - I'm used to needing to get the timing and speeds just right before it will do a nice gear change. I'm not trying to be a curmudgeon, but I just think a nicely timed "snick" into gear is one of the great satisfactions in driving...
