And where are you from? And how old? Not “do you” but just if you know how.
I’m in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

In Germany nearly everyone can drive manual. Used to be that if you didn’t learn how to drive manual in driving school, you weren’t allowed to drive manual with your license.
AFAIK that is still the case, no?
I can vouch for Belgium, where this is still the case. I have yet to meet someone who can only drive automatic (except for people with disabilities ofcourse)
Oh, I can confirm I have met a person in Belgium who could only drive automatic.
I’ve met plenty of people who should be driving automatic though lmao
Honestly, I lived in Antwerp for a while… I think the transmission is the least of their problems.
Still the case in France, although you can upgrade your “automatic-only” driving license to a regular one by following an additional 7 hour course.
It’s possible to do an automatic only license, but for most people it doesn’t make sense to do so, so no one does.
Prettty sure that’s still the case. I talked to a young person two weeks ago who said she’s not allowed to drive a manual transmission car.
Same in Sweden. Most people get a license for manual and then buy an automatic.
Still the case, got my B197 driving license last week in Bavaria. You have 10 lessons with manual as part of your education, then the rest + exam on automatic. B197 allows to drive both, B allows automatic only.
That’s still the case all over the EU since rules for driving licenses are more or less the same all over the EU. Even the licenses look the same except maybe some minor details
