I learned to drive in an automatic.. in the 1980s. Pretty common here in Australia. Yes can drive a manual as well but prefer auto as I have arthritis. Many disabled people prefer auto.

As does my mum, who failed her test over ten times in a manual. She just couldn't get the hang of the clutch. Me, I don't like automatics, feels like I have less control.

Manual cars represent less than 2% of the auto market so it is not disabled people's.
