Does a driver who already has a car licence for manual transmission retain that right for PSVs - or do they have to take their test on a manual-shift vehicle?
Most service buses have fully-automatic gear selection.
What about automated manual gearboxes as fitted to most trucks nowadays?
Does this qualify as 'manual' or automatic? - ie would a vehicle fitted with such a gearbox qualify a driver for driving manual-shift gears as fitted to many existing coaches?
As I understand now, all newly-qualified PCV/PSV drivers who passes in an automatic vehicle are also now qualified to driving manual vehicles as long as their car licence is for a manual vehicle.
