Update BE test rules to allow automatic cars to be used and gain manual as well

Petition Details

The BE driving licence rules need to be updated to allow people that take the test in an automatic to gain manual entitlement if they hold manual Cat B licence, as this is proving difficult for Trainers to buy suitable test vehicles, as more and more car manufacturers are stopping making manual cars

Additional Information

The rules were changed to allow Cat C and CE candidates to pass a test in an automatic truck and gain manual entitlement if they hold a manual Cat B licence, as more and more trucks were being made in automatic only.
This is now happening with car manufacturers and proving to be a problem to trainers in our industry.
Automatic vehicles are now more fuel efficient than manual vehicles so I feel the rules must be changed swiftly to enable us to help with reducing emissions to help our planet
