In short, yes.
The plates have to be clearly displayed. Whether or not you would get stopped for it is another matter....

I'm pretty sure this would be illegal, although it all depends on the ociffer in question.
AFAIK, the colours are part of the requirements.

Hey,
That is not true.
To 'lose' your Provisional licence, you'd have to accrue 12 points.
The above is true because you are not subject to the "New Drivers Act" until you have passed an official DSA test. That means once you have passed, you are only allowed six points in two years from your initial pass date.
Not that you should get any points at all on a provisional, but you can get accrue 12 on a provisional licence.
HTH!  !

I was considering it from my own perspective, since I've just passed my driving test, also. I'm assuming if I got 6 points, I'd lose both my driving license and my provisional bike.
Either way, it's not worth getting any points on your license, just do things by the book.

Hey,
That's a bit of a tricky one.
If you were to accrue six points, you would lose your motorcycle entitlement and your provisional entitlement. However, you can just regain your provisional entitlement by buying a new provisional licence so you really never 'lose' it, you only lose the entitlement you gained the points on that tipped you 'over the edge' in terms of points.
For example, if you had already accrued 3 points on a motorcycle, but got another 3 points in your car, as far as I understand it you only lose your car entitlement.
However, as you have said, I'm not sure on the 'by the book' ( ) but not getting any points at all is a pretty decent aim for a new driver of any entitlement.
Cheers!

No such thing as losing just one entitlement!
So, for arguement sake, say you got a licence with A2 and B-B1 entitlement; that allows you to ride an up to 33bhp bike and a car.
Like someone said... 6 points in the first 2 years and you will lose your licence... meaning back to learner... it does not matter which vehicle you accrued the point.
Not only that but the points do not magically disappear from your licence, they will be there for 3 years, and you can only apply to have them removed after 4 years!
Going back to the OP with the L plate on the inside front screen... when i was a learner i had a smoked screen on my bike and i had the L plate on the inside with double side sticky tape... never had a problem! |

Hey,
My mistake, I wasn't quite there when typing that.
When you do lose your licence via the New Drivers Act, you have to re-take a theory + test etc for one entitlement (the one you were driving when you accrued the points that put you at >=6) and once that is done you regain all your old entitlements automatically.
However, they can say you have to retake the tests for the other entitlement too, it's at the commissioner's prerogative.
Cheers!
