I had 12 parking fines at $75 each, in the year 2005-2006. Paid them all but not happy jan. Back then my motto was "park as long as you like". Now I obey the parking signs wherever I go. Lesson learnt...

Never had any other fines.

So what you are asking is if you have an automatic licence even if it is upgraded to manual automatically can it be upgraded manually by sitting for a manual test and if passed the automatic licence is automatically upgraded but if failed is the automaic licence automatically failed as well and do you have to read the road safety manual to sit for the manual upgrade or does the automatic licence test of the road safety manual automatically cover the manual test as well?
