Passing in an automatic is quicker for most learners — but limits you to automatic cars. Here's how to decide.
If you pass in an automatic car, your licence restricts you to automatics. Pass in a manual and you can drive both. That sounds like the obvious choice — but it's not that simple for everyone.
A manual licence lets you drive any car. An automatic licence restricts you to automatics (unless you later pass a manual test). If you pass in a manual, automatic is automatically included. The reverse is not true.
