thatās not my point
the point is that automatic gearboxes are rare in the UK, which means demand for automatic servicing & repairs is rare in the UK, which means that itās more expensive to service an automatic gearbox

a very significant portion of our cars are manual gearbox
getting an automatic only license marks up your insurance tons as well because thereās a presumption youāre a worse driver by the insurance since you didnāt get qualified on manual

you will get charged less insurance for driving the exact same car with the exact same experience on a manual license than an automatic license

what I will say is the only automatic car I have ever seen in my life was a Ā£90,000 ford on display in a Glasgow official ford showroom that also had a very very cool manual motorbike-style shifter as well so it was like it had a hybrid gearbox
at least I think it was a manual shifter?

Almost all cars are manual in europe
My parents were looking to help me practice driving in an automatic car before my driving courses but they found nobody who owns one. I didnt wanna learn manual because i knew i was terrible. I failed my driving exams in the only 2 instructors in my city who offered an automatic car. And they yelled at me and made me cry. So i gave up on driving because if i had to continue i had to either endure their yelling and cussing or i had to try to learn manual after already being terrible with automatic

how is driving automatic hard. you literally donāt have to touch it once youāre on the road, and itās just parking that you deal with changing gears and thatās mostly just putting it back into park
