AFAIK that is still the case, no?
I can vouch for Belgium, where this is still the case. I have yet to meet someone who can only drive automatic (except for people with disabilities ofcourse)
Oh, I can confirm I have met a person in Belgium who could only drive automatic.
I've met plenty of people who should be driving automatic though lmao
Honestly, I lived in Antwerp for a while... I think the transmission is the least of their problems.
Still the case in France, although you can upgrade your "automatic-only" driving license to a regular one by following an additional 7 hour course.
It's possible to do an automatic only license, but for most people it doesn't make sense to do so, so no one does.
