I have a friend who recently passed her driving test (auto transmission). I know there are certain cars that are not considered 'auto' for driving licence purposes. I wonder whether she could drive a 1997 Micra with CVT, with her driving licence. Thanks in advance.

Phil

Could you elaborate a bit more please. Do you mean in the context of the car he mentioned?

I do believe that UK driving licences still discriminate between manuals and autos.

Thanks

Helpful to me! i was wondering how the DLVA distinguish between auto and manual and the answer appears to be:

does the car have a clutch pedal

tick - manual
cross - automatic

unless i've read that thread completely wrong of course
