Someone told me that you can drive by yourself a smart on just a provisional license because the power is – like the same as a moped . Is this correct or not

I ordered my car in June 2008. I was let to believe you configure it shortly before it comes to you. Since I have configured it, my delivery date estimated has been unavailable. Last it said was August 2009-October 2009.
Can anyone tell me about their experience?
Thanks in advance.
To the jerk that commented on my question. First of all, I know that the Smart Car is a Smart Fortwo… I bought one. Second of all… if someone said what car are we taking, I would say the Honda… if I had a Honda and a Mitsubishi. Third I didn’t ask what do you think about the Smart Car. I asked what anyone’s personal experience with their wait and configuration time. What an ass.
On returning from a long drive south london, the engine management light came on and I lost power. A local garage diagnosed loss of compression in one cyclinder and a damaged spark plug in that cylinder but said the enginer would need to be opened up. Can anyone advise where I can get the engine opened up for a reasonable price in south east london.
