So general legal questions regarding L plates

[AndyCF]

Never really understood why you need to have a front L on a bike when you do not have to have a front number plate, I know its not quite the same but...

Yes I'm obviously aware older machines have a front plate, nicely 'side fitted' to avoid it being read easily by static units.



When I passed my car test in 91 I still had my Simson 50, I took the L's off that and carried on with it as I could not afford either a car or a faster bike. I was doing a 10 mile commute (each way) to work like that for nearly a year without the L's (legal as I got my 'ped' cover) and never attracted any attention...

Bear in mind I'd been riding the Simson for about 18 months at this point though (legally)

I was semi forced into a CBT from what I recall only to find out I did not actually need one afterwards hmm.

this is simple

you are a learner so need to display L plates front and rear

my rear one kept snapping so I got a little bit of thin aluminium and made a bracket for it so it didn't snap

if you don't you can be fined £100 for each plate and have three points per plate missing they could also do you for not in accordance which would be more points and another fine

6 points may or may not be enough to get a ban we don't know how long you have had a licence
if you have had a full licence more then two years then you are not under the new drivers rule

if less then it will be revoked again

so either pass a test or display the L plates

easy

Did my A1, ride my YBR 125 without L plates and never been pulled for it, even though the examiner said afterwards I'm going to get pulled over a lot for it. So I can only guess either police in my area aren't bothered or they can run a check with just my number plate.
