A competent driver doesn't produce "the jerky motion" when shifting.
A classic example of being wrong.
Depends on how you parse the sentence. A proper shift should not be
jerky, but on the other hand it could still have an abrupt change in
acceleration (which is what people are not feeling with standard
CVT's)
A competent driver is doing a lot more than shifting gears, and with rev
holders built into pollution control systems, getting absolutely seamless
shifting with a manual box is just about impossible.
To me, competence behind the wheel has more to do with obeying traffic laws,
not texting while driving, not causing car accidents, being a defensive, or
at least neutral driver rather than being belligerant behind the wheel, and
showing a modicum of consideration for the people you are sharing the road
with than it has to do with how well you shift gears.
