Actually, from my understanding, you can drive on such cars on your Ls, you just can't do so on your Ps.

I thought there was just to be no towing on learner's permit. Can't find the restrictions atm

Yeah, that's what I thought.  You can drive any car but you just can't tow.

For most of my learning period, I drove a v6 (not that it's special or a "big" car, but just saying) and once stopped next to a police car at an intersection, waved at them and all they did was wave back.
