You might not get the best photos, but they're less likely to fail completely, so long as you're not contending with difficult lighting conditions or very fast stretches of road.

The time to play with your manual settings and become re-acquainted, if you're finding yourself getting it wrong frequently, would be somewhere boring and predictable - even North Road roundabout! The point being that you can keep playing about and experimenting to find out what really works and what doesn't - the worst outcome here is that, by experimenting, you've fouled up half a dozen workaday shots of the 20/20A rather than that once in a blue moon drifter trundling through Wingate on the X7.
