Q: In Europe, 8 out of 10 people have one of these. In North America less than 1 in 10 has one. What is it?
A: A stick-shift or manual car.
There are a lot of reasons given for the difference, including cost in both fuel and the style of vehicle. As well as the responsive nature of the gear shift, and the feel of the drive. But there’s also a matter of your license. In Europe, if you go for a driving test on an automatic car, you will receive a license to only drive automatic cars. However, if you give your test on a geared vehicle, you get a complete license valid for both types of cars.
