L plate rules

[teech]

I know you have to have L plates when you are a only a CBT holder, but are there any other circumstances when you also have to have them displayed?

Motorcycle licence requirements

If you have a provisional motorcycle licence, you MUST satisfactorily complete a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. You can then ride on the public road, with L plates(in Wales either D plates, L plates or both can be used), for up to two years. To obtain your full motorcycle licence you MUST pass a motorcycle theory test and then a practical test.
Law RTA 1988 sect 97

If you have a full car licence you may ride motorcycles up to 125cc and 11kW power output, with L plates (and/or D plates in Wales), on public roads, but you MUST first satisfactorily complete a CBT course if you have not already done so.

If you have a full moped licence and wish to obtain full motorcycle entitlement you will be required to take a motorcycle theory test if you did not take a separate theory test when you obtained your moped licence. You MUST then pass a practical motorcycle test.
Note that if CBT was completed for the full moped licence there is no need to repeat it, but if the moped test was taken before 1/12/90 CBT will need to be completed before riding a motorcycle as a learner.
Law MV(DL)R reg 42(1) & 69(1)

Hope that helps.

The only situation I can imagine is accelerated access - you'd have a proper a2 license (ie not just a CBT), but you'd need to display L plates while you were doing your 'over 33 hp' training. You'd also need to be in radio contact with and supervised by an instructor.
