neutral  ph-b (X): La catégorie de véhicules du permis B du New Jersey (votre réf.) ne semble pas correspondre à celle utilisée en Fr. (votre réf. « Service Public »). « Permis de conduire » OK, mais « Permis B » trompeur pour un lecteur français ?

  -> A Basic Automobile License (Class D) / Je ne suis pas de langue maternelle française. C'est pourquoi j'ai mis les 2 options et CL 3, pas plus.

neutral  Daryo: I have a nagging doubt that it COULD have something to with "automatic" (as opposed to "the stick" / manual gear changing) but I'll leave the research to those who see this as "so simple and obvious".

  -> it's always possible to create difficulties when none exist. Imo no one learns how to drive manual any more in the US
