Choosing Between a Manual and Automatic License.

In Victoria’s licensing system, your choice between a manual and automatic license will determine the cars you can drive while on probation. An automatic license means you’ll be restricted to automatic vehicles during your P1 and P2 periods.

Once you progress to a full license, you are legally permitted to drive a manual car, yet many new drivers struggle with the added complexity of manual driving without proper training and guidance from a qualified instructor.

Learning to drive in a manual car gives you the option to drive either a manual or automatic vehicle on both your probationary and full license.

Many novice drivers lean towards learning an automatic, as it’s easier to grasp and usually quicker to get the hang of. This makes handling traffic, road laws, and diverse driving circumstances less complex. While it might seem preferable at first, having a manual license brings lasting benefits and adaptability.
