    Hi all,
    Hopefully this is the right section as its to do with learner drivers.

    I did my theory test back in 2016, so i'm just renewing my licence after it expired and haven't used it since then.
    What i'm wondering is could i drive a automatic instead of a manual transmission? or do i need to resit a theory test for automatic's only? I'm totally confused and any help would be grateful.... Might be a stupid question but couldn't find any information about it.

    I already know the restrictions that come with passing a driving test in a automatic car from other posts done by people on this site but thanks anyways.

    Your learner permit is not restricted- you can drive (with a qualified driver) a manual or an automatic.

    The restriction only comes into place once you've done your test in an auto- then your full licence will restrict you to automatics only, but for now you can learn and sit your test in what car you want.
