Only in those countries (like the USA) where passing your road test on an automatic transmission gets you an unrestricted car driving license. In the UK and Europe you must pass on a manual geared car to get an unrestricted license. Indeed in Britain you must be able to use your clutch to do a hill start without rolling backwards to pass the road test.
