You have to display "L" plates at all times until you have a full licence. You can get £60 fine and 3 points per missing plate so be careful. ____________________ Too skint to buy a bike |

Riding without L plates is a privalidge that has to be earned. Sorry, but anyone riding without the plates and without the license, I would prefer to see them pulled over then allowed to carry on.

My rear one came off last weekend and I never got round to sorting it out. A copper pulled me on Saturday and told me off! I explained that it was there before I set off and that I had the front one in tact and he let me off and told me to go get some more. He could easily have been a knob and hammered me. ____________________ Too skint to buy a bike |

Like the other lads said, it's law you display full L-Plates both front and rear, also, no cutting them to make them curvey and putting them on the front mudguard [which is what my friend did, arse.]
They do look fugly i must admit, but it will be such a relief ripping them off and chucking them in the bin. ____________________ I want a bigger bike! |

i didn't think its possible to get fine and points if caught riding without :S
i took them off about a month ago to clean it up ready to sell but then had to keep the 50cc and haven't replaced them..
i think i'll be putting them back on this weekend ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

So let me get this straight,
I always assumed that you can only have a maximum of 6 points on a provisional - Obviously not
But you can still get points for not showing L's?
Thats just wrong, but i think i'll get mine back on just incase,
need to get a new sticky one for the front ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

You can get points without a license... I know a guy who got banned on points before he even got his provisional |

An uncle of mine is an officer of the luuuuuur and I've asked him what the crack on this sort of thing is before. He basically said that if he see's anything that's a 125cc or lower without L plates, that he is immediately suspicious of it. Apparently this is the opinion of most police officers so I wouldn't advise riding without them. |

My back plate fell off my back and I didn't bother putting it back on. Then on Wednesday the Fuzz stopped me and asked me to have a look at where my L plate used to be! He believed that it had fallen off on my way and instructed me to get another right away otherwise if he caught me again he'd have to do me! I was lucky he could have been a twat and given me points and a fine but he was pretty cool, maybe a biker himself.
Not wearing plates is a privilidge you have to earn I'm afraid. ____________________ Too skint to buy a bike |

My back L plate was ripped off today at my crash ( ) and the police stopped me down the road, they were dead on about it as they could see I was only going slow and my bike was a mess, after I told them what happened.
L plates are annoying, but you may as well have them on incase you have an accident or something because i'm sure it could affect your insurance or make it invalid maybe? Maybe not? |

Syris - hope you're ok. Email one of the mods (green ones or the orange one!) and you'll get a certificate as it looks as if the BCF curse has paid you a visit! ____________________ Too skint to buy a bike |

The police ain't stupid, they will be able to tell by the way you ride that you haven't passed your test (they did me ages ago as i wasn't doing life savers). Also no 50 looks bigger than a 125. Some 125's you may be able to get away with it but on a 50 no way, the exhaust and tires give them away not to talk about the sound of the little 50 race reps.
Basically it's not worth the risk and if you crash and have no L-plates on i've heard you are buggered as no L-plates mean you are driving with out accordance of a licence which is as good as not having a licence and if your insurance company finds out they won't have to pay out anything if some one makes a claim which could burn a large hole straight through your wallet/purse . ____________________

Unlucky syris, my front mudguard also got ripped off in my crash, and an official replacement costs £90 . I spoke to my local bike shop and a generic chrome (so looks as good as origenal) was available for £30!, I was well chuffed! The only thing is you need to drill the mounting holes yourself for your bike, but this isn't much of a problem.
Hope your back on the road soon, and your bike doesn't cost too much to put right again.
