If you get it rolling and don't touch the brake, the car will drive at a constant speed of around 10 mph which is too fast in most stop-and-go situations. In a M/T you can regulate your speed much better by working the clutch. Just food for thought.

I have never used a DCT in traffic! This is just one of the reasons for making the switch .... not a huge part of it.
