can you drive a manual car with an automatic licence qld

Ah, the eternal struggle of the two-pedal drivers dreaming of clutch kicks! In Queensland, if you’ve got an automatic licence, you’re legally restricted to driving automatic vehicles only. Trying to wrangle a manual with an automatic licence is like asking a koala to do the hokey pokey: it just doesn’t work.

To conquer the manual beast, you’ll need to sit for a manual licence test and pass, proving you can handle the clutch without stalling at every set of lights. Otherwise, stick to your automatics and leave the gear juggling to the pros.
