In the UK, if you take and pass(!) your test in an automatic you are =
only licenced to drive an automatic. If you pass in a stick shift, you =
are licenced for both. Is that the same all over?

I learned on a stick. Then spent 30 years on a slush box (as we called =

Being able to drive a stick is a life-skill worth having, especially if =
you're a bank robber trying to hijack a getaway vehicle. =
