> In UK, if you pass your test in an automatic then you are restricted to only being able to drive automatic car

As I know, this rule also works in some other countries, and slowly distributes. I think it's lobbied by insurance companies, because they pay lot of compensations for scratches, happen on parking, when people pass test in an automatic and then have difficulties in slow speed evolution's in manual.
