In Ukraine, exams for 'mechanics' may become a thing of the past: what will change for future drivers.

The automotive world is changing rapidly, and the trend of moving away from manual transmissions is becoming increasingly evident. Ukrainians still remain loyal to manual control, but globally the future belongs to automatic gear shifting.

There are many reasons for this change - from convenience and safety to teaching new drivers.

Previously, cars with 'manual' were considered practical and economical, but today drivers are looking for comfort and safety.

In cities, it is important to be attentive on the road, which can be difficult when maneuvering with gears. Automatic transmissions allow drivers to focus on what is more important, eliminating technical details.

Driving education and additional restrictions

Many driving schools have switched to teaching on automatics due to its simplicity and reduced stress for beginners. Those who complete such courses receive licenses with restrictions on manual transmissions.

Market development prospects and patterns

In developed countries, less than 5% of cars have manual transmissions, indicating global trends. In our case, the transition may take longer due to the saturation of the market with manually controlled cars.

The disappearance of manual transmissions is the result of technological progress and changes in lifestyle. Simplicity and comfort are what drivers value most in new cars.

Don't forget, you might still have to take the driving test again.
