I will believe it when you show it in writing, never seen it done before.

photos don't do this justice in terms of paint quality.
saw it out on the road and the black paint had a whole lot of depth and so much reflection.

I would suggest though aus.
try to do something to get the P Plate on the back along with the driver under instruction thing.
it was very hard to see. only reason I could see it was because I recognised the car.
im sure youll work something out though.

i do believe it. i called up vicroads when i was driving a truck without a HC licences but had a passenger with a full heavy combination licences sitting next to me.

they told me it was fine but i needed to display that sign on both the front and rear of the truck (much like you see driving training trucks)




on another note, very very nice car kito!

Seen it on a truck yes, but never once on a passenger car.

Licence conditions : VicRoads

When learning to drive in a manual vehicle you must have someone with a full manual licence sitting beside you and display 'Driver Under Instruction' plates as well as your 'P' plates on the front and back of your vehicle. Driver Under Instruction plates must be 150mm x 150mm with black lettering on a yellow background.

happy?

So airbag shocks are pretty fun. I can also lower it quite a lot by letting the air out
