As an American, I sort of understand that argument for Europe more, because everything I’ve read says manual is more common, but still, how often are you going to be in some scenario where you’re forced to drive a manual? Like if you’re bad at driving a bigger truck, you just shouldn’t do that on busy roads until your comfortable. I don’t view these types of things as necessary knowledge for driving.

Here in Sweden, since I took my test in an automatic car, I am not allowed to drive a manual car unless I pass a new test in a manual car.
This is perfectly resonable, I would be a terrible driver in a manual car, but driving an automatic, I am perfectly fine.
Yeah that makes sense.
