What is the difference between taking the automatic transmission and manual transmission driving tests?
1 Answers
The differences between taking the automatic transmission and manual transmission driving tests are: 1. Difficulty level varies: The automatic transmission test is simpler because you learn and test on automatic transmission vehicles, which are easier to operate than manual ones; The manual transmission test is more challenging, mainly involving hill starts and clutch-throttle coordination. 2. Eligible vehicle range differs: An automatic license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles; A manual license has broader coverage, allowing drivers to operate both manual and automatic transmission vehicles. 3. Gear configurations differ: Automatic transmissions have P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1 or L gears; Manual transmissions feature five forward gears plus R (reverse).
