Do you drive an automatic or manual car?

I drive both. My license covers me for an automatic car or a manual car.

I drive an automatic car. I have driven a manual car but I am not real good at it and just prefer to have an automatic. You say in your post that you have a license for both types. Here we don't need to have a license for both types. We can drive either one under just a standard drivers license.

Here in the UK if you pass your test in a manual car you are entitled to drive both manual and automatics, but if you pass your test in a automatic, you cannot drive a manual, I think it is because a manual is harder to drive. I passed my test driving a manual car so I can drive both. Thank you for your response. :) Happy new year.

I do not mind whether I drive manual or automatic, but in traffic it is easier being in an automatic. Thank you for your response. :) Happy new year.

I did not learn to drive until I was 29 and it was one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you for your response. :) Happy new year.

I can drive a manual, but my car at the moment is an automatic and it is so easy to drive, especially in traffic. Thank you for your response. :) Happy new year.

I passed my test in 1989 in a manual car, so I have a manual licence but I won't drive a manual. I always have automatics, they are far easier to drive and I could never get on with the clutch and I hate changing gears too. It's far easier in traffic jams, I could never go back to a manual car.

I drive a Manual Car as I do not like Automatic it is the most boring car in the World lol I would fall asleep driving one of them, no I prefer the changing of Gears and that it is bad enough on the Motorway when I have no Gears to change

Never had that on a license but perhaps the UK and USA are different on that one. I've driven both over the years but I prefer an automatic. Now more then ever with bad ankles and bad back. Just makes it easier to drive with those when I don't have to worry about a clutch as well.

I presently drive neither and am just learning to drive. I'd love to drive a Manual as its more fun.
