This whole “if you haven’t passed in a manual then you aren’t safe to drive” thing is nonsense.
It’s not about being safe or damgerous, I would say my was about avoiding the struggle and the need (for most) to pay for extra manual lessons after passing in autos.
One can hardly stall an auto at a roundabout but an average Joe like me, stakes are high to stall a manual and couse delays and get confused if some ■■■■■■ start sounding their horns at u and if that happens, the end result is “mess up!”

Unless it is a Scania as most auto have a clutch so can easy be stalled
You certainly can stall an auto truck at a roundabout (or indeed any other situation where the vehicle slows to a very low speed, on an increasing gradient with a modest load on). The vast majority of them have a conventional clutch and gearbox, operated robotically (unlike a traditional torque convertor “slushbox” automatic). The main problem is that the computer operating the clutch/gears cannot see the road/traffic situation ahead and so anticipate what demands are about to be placed on it. Some makes appear to be noticeably worse than others in this regard.
so can easy be stalled
