A similar number of Americans :... If 200m american drivers swear by them they can't be wrong! ...
Don't bother listening to fuddy duddy views about automatics by irish drivers (e.g., see above post) who as you can see from their driving on the road most of them don't have a clue how to drive safely.
Presume you were talking about my post- what exactly is 'fuddy duddy' about it?
As it happens I drive an automatic too at the moment, but I learnt to drive a manual. So if I need to change my car I will not be limited, I can drive my husband's car when necessary, I can drive a hire car when abroad etc etc.
I can drive a hire car when abroad etc etc.
OP, Any driving school should be able to accomodate you. If you feel more comfortable driving and automatic then that's what you should do.
I'm teaching DD to drive our automatic (Octavia) at the moment and it definitely makes it easier for her — as a nervous beginner — to concentrate on mastering the basics of steering, use of mirrors, driving position, general road sense, etc.
But once she's built up a bit of confidence I will certainly advise her to do plenty of practice in a manual car and to sit her test in one.
