IDK why some parts of europe do that. Frankly it's stupid. Once you've driven your manual car for, IDK, a week, it's second nature like riding a bicycle.

The US does have separate license endorsements for manual in commercial trucks.

Well sure, but what do you do in the first hours of driving a manual? IF you've never driven one before, how can you legally be allowed to drive one on the road without training? Like, we could say that after you drove a truck for a week it's probably second nature, but there are very good reasons why we don't let people with a B class licence drive them. Ditto for trailers and buses and anything that's not a normal car up to 3.5 tonnes.
