Today, I started to go to a driving school to get a driving license. I already have a driving license for motorbikes, so I've decided to get a manual transmission license because changing gears is exciting. Nowadays, the number of MT cars is decreasing, and automatic transmission is common in Japan. Driving an AT car is easier, so people tend to have only AT license. How about in your country?

Corrections

Today, I started to gogoing to a driving school to get a drivinger's license.

Here, the other correction seems fine to me, but not at all necessary.

I already have a driving license for motorbikesmotorcycle license, so I've decided to get a manual transmission license because changing gears is exciting.

Personally, "manual transmission license" sounds much more natural; the difference is probably just regional variation, since it looks like both are used.

Nowadays, the number of MTmanual transmission cars is decreasing, and automatic transmission is common in Japan.

If you're going to use abbreviations (MT, AT), you should be consistent. If you want to use "MT" instead of "manual transmission", you should use "AT" instead of spelling out "automatic transmission".

Driving an AT car is easier, so people tend to have automatic-only AT licenses.

Feedback

There were several points where the other corrector corrected you, but which I think are fine. In particular, I'm pretty sure this is just because of regional or generational differences or whatnot.

Thank you for your correction! It's a little difficult to write about the theme includes technical words.

Today, I started to gogoing to a driving school to learn how to drive and get a drivinger's license.

"going to a driving school" feels incomplete to me: what do you do there? You can't just get a driver's license by going there.

I already have a driving license for motorbikesmotorcycle license, so I've decided to get a manual transmissiondriver's license because changing gears is exciting.

Nowadays, the number of MT carmanuals is decreasing, and automatic transmission iss are common in Japan.

I don't think MT is a standard acronym. If you want to use it, it should be introduced (along with AT below). However, now that we know we're talking about cars, we can just say "manuals" and "automatics".

Driving an AT carautomatic is easier, so people tend to have only ATautomatic licenses.

How about in your country?

Feedback

I gave up having a car maybe 5-6 years ago, so I have no idea. I feel life is better without such burdens.

Thank you for your correction. Big and expensive things such as cars sometimes become obstacles. Minimalism is important.
