| Comment | otoh, I passed a manual test and have only ever owned and driven automatics since, and would probably never buy a manual again. Pretty much all hire firms do plenty of autos these days for foreign (US) visitors, and autos are enough of the market now that they're easy to find (with the added benefit they tend to be better maintained and cheaper to insure). Also most of the Co-Wheels car club cars in the city are autos.
So I think your argument would have stood maybe 10 years ago, but autos are becoming the norm now, and given that the days of the ICU are numbered, there's really not that great a case for having a manual licence nowadays. |
