Dear Jacspi,

I just rang up the RTA and guess what???!!! Red P platers ARE allowed to learn in a manual car as long as there is a full license holder instructing them and we're allowed to display our P plates-no need for L plates!!! The customer service consultant even read it out to me from his big book of rules! So it's official!!!!You can still learn in Newt!!

much love, sockpuppet:)
