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.

Mid 20s, Poland, very much can, but currently driving automatic.

Fun fact: in Poland you normally take the driving test in a manual gear shift car, but you can optionally take it in an automatic one. The deal is you have to provide the vehicle for the testing center yourself (driving schools lend them) and your driving license will have an annotation that it's only viable for this type of gearbox.

Does manual license allow driving automatics? Where I live there are auto licences, which can only drive autos, and "regular" onees

Not OP, but yes manual permits to drive both types, automatic doesn't allow driving manuals. I believe that's an EU regulation.
