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.

    Yes, I’m 32. Back in 2010 I got my licence in Norway. Norway has separate licences for manual and automatic transmissions, such that the automatic transmission licence is more limited. In 2010, nearly all cars were manual, and getting a licence for automatic transmission meant that you would basically only drive your own car.

    Today, Norway in huge on EVs and hybrids, and I think you’ll have to search hard to find a new car with manual transmission. I think the stats are that ~70% of new licences are for automatic transmission, which makes a lot of sense.
