I'm pretty sure we here have no such timeout - if you passed on an automatic, you can only drive automatics - period, as the Americans would say. I don't think we have anything called "initial" or "probationary" (though we frequently get suggestions that new drivers _ought_ to be restricted in some way for a while, such as limits on passengers below a certain age - but nothing's happened there yet). We do have "privisional", which is for learning, but you have to have someone with a full licence in the car with you. That lasts a year I think - though I think can be renewed, how many times I'm not sure. (Maximum three years total maybe?) -- J. P. Gilliver.
