In the UK, they are. You can either take your driving test in a
manual or an automatic. If you take it in a manual, you can drive
either. If you take it in an automatic, you can only drive
automatics.


In the US it's the reverse. If you take it (or took it when I did,
mumble years ago) in a manual, that's all you could drive. If you
took it in an automatic, you could drive both. Go figure.


The US is a very big place with several different state laws that change
from time to time. Unless you change the US to some more specific location
and maybe even specific date you are just plain wrong.

Correction: Your rightness or wrongness is indeterminate.
