In Germany nearly everyone can drive manual. Used to be that if you didn't learn how to drive manual in driving school, you weren't allowed to drive manual with your license.
AFAIK that is still the case, no?
I can vouch for Belgium, where this is still the case. I have yet to meet someone who can only drive automatic (except for people with disabilities ofcourse)
Oh, I can confirm I have met a person in Belgium who could only drive automatic.
I've met plenty of people who should be driving automatic though lmao
Honestly, I lived in Antwerp for a while... I think the transmission is the least of their problems.
