But if anything car tech and use is moving towards drivers being less engaged with vehicles, not more, therefore over time there is even less justification for them to be allowed to drive a manual if they want, they would genuinely need educated and tested. If you just lump it into the automatic test then all learners have to learn manual, which is a step back from the 2 options they have now (there would also be outcry over auto learners having to spend time and money on the manual part). As it is you need a different test to pass a manual and I don't see that logic changing. we're slowly bringing in areas in cities they can't go without getting fined, we're offering grants for people to scrap them for newer ones, and petrol stations are taking high octane fuels off the forecourt and replacing them with E10 which is bad for older engines etc, we're deffo squeezing these drivers and cars out of the system. This is pretty much what we're doing with older high emissions car now. Surely they wouldn’t be able to stop offering tests on manual cars altogether if there wasn’t an alternative? That’s why I thought if there would be something included on the (automatic) test that might be sufficient? Either way not much good for any automatic drivers who might be thinking about upgrading! Wonder how soon this could happen… ?
