Learning automatic transmission does not qualify you to drive manual transmission vehicles. An automatic transmission license is categorized as C2, while a manual transmission license is C1. A C1 license permits driving C2 and C3 vehicle types. When enrolling in driving school, choosing C1 means learning to drive manual transmission vehicles, whereas selecting C2 means learning automatic transmission vehicles. The operational learning for these two differs significantly; at the very least, the left foot is not used in automatic transmission vehicles. If you can drive a manual transmission vehicle, switching to an automatic is operationally similar, with the only difference being the absence of a clutch pedal, to which one can quickly adapt. Automatic transmission generally refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment on timing and gear shifting. Typically, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic gear positions are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).
