I originally bought and registered my BRZ in Louisiana, which has an inspection program they call "brake tags." To get your brake tag, they do a quick safety inspection, then test the brakes by driving it 15 feet or so and making sure it stops.
The day I took my BRZ to get the brake tag there were two people working there. The girl who inspected my car stopped and said, "He gonna have to test the brake. I can't drive no stick." I offered to move it myself, but she said, "No, we gotta drive it. He be here in just a minute."
If your job involves driving literally thousands of vehicles per year of very make and model on the road, I would think that operating a manual transmission would be a required skill. That same girl had been there by herself when I took my Jeep in to get the brake tag. What would she have done if the other guy hadn't been there when I took my BRZ in, deny me a brake tag because she couldn't do her job?
