Upgrading from Class B to Class A

I did this a couple years ago and had to re test in a stick to keep the auto restriction off licence.

 

Restricted....

 

I know someone who took their test at prime in an automatic and never drove a manual but didnt get an automatic restriction

But yea it should be restricted

 

Yea definitely rent a manual tractor. You dont want to end up having to test again just to get an auto restriction removed.

 

You should NOT end up with a manual restriction on your license if you test class A in an automatic. You can actually have that restriction removed from an A license by testing in a straight truck or a tractor without a trailer. It will, however, involve a pretrip and a road test to remove an existing restriction. Also, about the guy who tested in an automatic but didn't end up with a restriction probably tested 5 years ago or more before the restrictions came about. Or somebody simply forgot to add it.
