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.
I am in the market for a car and found the SMART car, it hasnt come over the pond yet, but im really interested in purchasing it when it does. a few things first im a first time driver. is this a good car for a first time driver. second anyone drive the smart car any pointers like are you happy with it, ect and third in teh USA does anyone know if any insurance companies will cover a first time driver with a SMART car. thanks a bunch
