But there is here in Germany. I only learned about it because almost all of our US colleagues have it. Making them a pain in the ass on so many occasions.

Oh, if they've actually been licensed in Germany then it's a different story, I suppose. Very few countries will issue an unrestricted license if you test in an auto but the US will. When I first bought a six-speed Mazda I had only practiced driving manual for a weekend.

US Americans have to take the test at some point. I think after a year (or something around that time) their US driving license becomes invalid.
