Can I drive an automatic car if I learned to drive a manual one?

You can drive an automatic car if you learned to drive a manual one. A manual transmission driver's license is a C1 license, while an automatic transmission driver's license is a C2 license. A C1 license allows you to drive both C2 and C3 vehicle types. When learning to drive, those who apply for a C1 license learn to drive manual transmission cars, while those who apply for a C2 license learn to drive automatic transmission cars. The learning and operation of the two are different, as the left foot is not used in automatic transmission cars. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. Its working principle involves changing the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the meshing gears through the shift fork, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.
