manual/automatic legality?
Here's a question that cropped up between a few of us in the pub the other day
In the UK you are only allowed to drive a car with a manual gearbox if you have passed your test on one
You can pass your test in an automatic gearbox car, but then you must continue to drive an automatic, unless you are re-tested on a manual
If a visitor to UK, notably Americans, has passed their test on an automatic in their own country, what are they allowed to drive in UK?
If they hire a car while on holiday can it be a manual, or must they ask for an automatic?
