OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoUS licenses don’t differentiate. There’s no way to tell by the license which transmission you used on the test. Shouldn’t be a problem.

For that exact reason some countries (my country included) don’t accept an American license unless you do a test here first.
Though IIRC, that applies for both manuals and automatics, because American drivers education isn’t really trusted here.

With the Geneva convention on Road Traffic they must recognize it, at least for visitors. However you are probably right if OP tried to move there and get a local license, they’d need to retest.

That is totally fair because I literally, and I mean literally, drove around the block for my American driver’s test. My entire test:
This was in a residential area too, so I never went above 25mph/40kph

Exactly: I have friends that got a drivers license in th US, and the education/test is honestly a joke compared to what they require here, and it clearly shows in the number of driving-related deaths.
