can you drive a manual on your green ps

Ah, the Green P plates—Australia’s way of saying, "You’re new, be careful!" Now, can you drive a manual on your Green Ps? The short answer: yes, but with conditions. Most states allow learner and provisional drivers to use manual transmissions while on Green Ps, as long as you’re following all other driving restrictions.

However, if you learned on an automatic and your licence is restricted to automatics, then you’re stuck in auto-only land until you upgrade. Also, some states have specific rules about displaying your plates and adhering to speed limits regardless of your car’s gearbox.

So, in a nutshell: check your local transport authority’s fine print, and remember that mastering a manual on Green Ps might just earn you extra street cred (or a few extra clutch burns).
