If you take a test in an automatic, you'd only be able to drive automatics unless you take a further manual test at a later date.

If you take your test in a manual, you can drive either.

license 1 valid for 2 years, license 2 valid for 2 years, a third license may be issued where proof of application for a driving test, or having sat a driving test can be given. (this is all due to be changed shortly though)
