nowhereboy Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Congratulations! I can't say I've ever heard of anyone passing the test in a Z. Surely you're insurance must be beyond ridiculous? I'm an insurance broker and don't know of any company's that would let you learn in a Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well done, it's not that common for people to pass their test in their own car and in a Zed is quite amazing and possibly unique. Just looking at the regulations, the 350Z coupe only just squeezes in to what you can take your test in.....in theory at least, the roadster doesn't .

cov350z Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 ^^^ i did have a surprising chat with the dsa about it i got several hang on a moment i need to ask .... before i just took it theres only a few cars on there not allowed list most are soft tops because of the reduced visibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I went to school with a girl who took her test in a Mk2 Escort RS2000. Not quite a Zed but still pretty exiting to take a test in!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Congratulations! No more 'L' plates or somebody sitting next to you whenever you go out! This is a first for me also... I think I passed in a Ford Fiesta if I remember correctly. P.S sorry to hear about your insurance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 ^^^ i did have a surprising chat with the dsa about it i got several hang on a moment i need to ask .... before i just took it theres only a few cars on there not allowed list most are soft tops because of the reduced visibility Just looked this up as I'd never even thought about it, I just assumed that if they're safe to drive then you can test in them, apparently it's to do with the examiners visibility. Convertibles and panel vans aren't allowed... although I wonder what would happen if you turned up in a convertible on a hot summers day and said don't worry the roof will be down so you can see?

HaydnH Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The roadster also exceeds the weight limit ! What, 3500kg? Surely that only happens if one of the Zed Shed doughnut boys is driving? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
