Getting my driving license in auto

Hi guys!

I’m European, and where I'm from, we usually get our licenses in manual cars. However, after failing my exam years ago, I’ve decided to try passing it in an automatic instead. I know I’ll only be restricted to driving automatics if I pass this way, but manual gears give me so much stress—it’s just too much to think about at once!

​How many of you also chose to pass in an automatic and avoided manual? Did you find it easier? I feel like I'll have a much easier time with an automatic.
