And where are you from? And how old? Not "do you" but just if you know how.

I'm in the US, mid 30s and can (and do) drive a manual transmission.

Prettty sure that's still the case. I talked to a young person two weeks ago who said she's not allowed to drive a manual transmission car.

Yes, but it used to be that you had to do the majority of lessons in a manual, now it's reduced, you can get B197 with a few hours of manual. And then you can drive both.

B197 I just learned about "Schlüsselzahl 78" and "Schlüsselzahl 197". Interesting. 10 lessons of 45 minutes in a manual car and a 15 minute test drive apparently.
