Can you drive a manual transmission?

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.

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.
