Yup, you're supposed to have an accident, what, every six years or so? So that's not a bad way to check it off the list.
I don't know about the manual transmission arguement. Maybe less likely since you'll be in neutral at a light most of the time, but I've found my self doing the exact same thing as Mike, creeping forward because I thought traffic started moving while I was checking my phone. No bumps, but I think you'll be in gear and ready to go if you're expecting traffic to move anyway. I do love those lights in Europe that turn yellow before green to give you some time to get into gear in advance.
