- Lukas_Skywalker 7y agoSwitzerland recently changed the law so people that passed the exam on an automatic are now allowed to drive manual transmissions as well. Seems slightly crazy to me.
- adrianN 7y agoIn Germany at least you can get your license in an automatic car, but then you're not allowed to drive manual cars.

- lrem 7y agoThey don't have to. But getting your license in an automatic means you are limited to pretty much hybrids/electrics.
