If I hold a valid UK driving licence for automatic cars, can I drive a car with Continuous Vehicle Transmission i.e. Honda Jazz-CVT-7
(in other words a car with automatic transmission but also a manual over ride).

Thanks for pointing that out mike d.
My fault - Yes "V" is for "variable".
Cheers

I thought the "V" stood for "Variable". My understanding was that the transmission's "gear" was actually a conically shaped hub and the transmission belt move up and down effectively changing gear ratios but constantly varying; as opposed to a conventional transmission with fixed gear ratios for each position selected. I dunnu; could be wrong. You in the UK seem to get a nicer selection of vehicles than we here in the US. Most blame our EPA. I can't imagine requiring a different license for a manual vs. auto.....but, stranger things probably do happen.

CVT is just another form of automatic transmission. In the 'regular' automatic transmission sometimes refered to AT, gears are used to transfer the engine power to the wheels. AT has a fixed number of sets of gears ratios - low end cars having 3 and the new ones as much as 8. In CVT the power transfer is done via a belt over two cones. Thus the ratio is continuously variable. This is the technical background. To answer your question - yes, you probably can drive the Jazz.

Yes. It has no clutch pedal.
