God, that all sounds confusing with the 6 months supervised and stuff. I guess our rules are probably just as confusing. We can get our learners at 16, Red P's at 17, Green P's at 18 and a full license at 20. But we have to have at least a year on each from when we actually get the license, except for green, thats 2 years.

L's are unrestricted as to what you drive but must have a driver over 25 in passenger seat, Red's we are free pretty much, only 1 person under 25 between 11 and 5 or something, and max speed of 90kph. Also we can't drive manual if we don't pass the red P's test in one. I passed in manual so I'm good lol. Greens are similar but can drive manual or auto and speed limit of 100kph. We can't tow a trailer over 250kg either :confused: lol

As for the cars, both red and green we can't drive anything over a 6 cylinder, can't drive turbo or supercharged, can't heavily modify the engine or anything either......But we can drive any type of rotary if it isn't turbo'd LOL :roflol: fail laws

As for your age, it was on the, what is your age thread as a poll, or whatever its called.

Oh, and over here you see taxi's for sale every now and then with like 800,000km's on them, thats like 500,000miles. Not bad for a straight 6

Ohh yeah we can drive normal vehicles here at 18 doesn't matter the engine size(no one should be driving rotarys anyway but their legal ex. Mazda RX-8), aspiration, transmission or anything like that as long as its not a commercial vehicle like souperman said

and about the age thing i clicked the under 16 tab because im 16 not 17 or older there really isnt a 16 option haha

alot of places around here sell old ford trucks that were used commercially but the downside is they're this bright yellow color haha

Yea, your right I guess. I wonder if the engines used for helicopters and stuff are better engineered? I know that we would definitely have heaps better rotaries if they had been adopted more widely but yea, didnt happen sadly. In theory though a rotary should absolutely smash a piston engine because theres no conversion of motion going on. Piston has to move lateral motion to rotational motion, a rotary just is rotary lol

right they definitely seem more efficient but lack the durability a piston engine has as long as mazda is still making them im sure the engine design will become more popular even though they've been around for ages
