| Comment | I got a manual licence, but for [reasons] my first car was an automatic, and to be frank I've never gone back nor wanted to. Autos are everywhere now, have comparable fuel efficiency and especially given the internal combustion engine should no longer be on sale by the end of the decade, I don't think it's worth bothering with a manual licence unless you particularly want one.
The only times it's caused me any issues is hiring a car in smaller places on the continent, but even then they've usually had something in stock for the yanks. Having a manual licence was handy the one time I borrowed a mate's campervan, but that's about it. |
