L Plate Laws

[eleyman]

Hi, i am 16 and i have recently passed my CBT. (hurray for me)
unfortunately though now i have my moped i cant seem to find a way to display a front L Plate....

does anyone have any ideas on how to do this or whether it is legal to drive without a front one displayed?

Get a few cable ties put 4 holes near the edge of the L plate and strap it to the fork leg.

Without one you will get 3 points £60 fine.

when i got my first ped i just stuck it up with duck tape and that kept in place on the front fairing, depends on model you can put it on the front mud guard if you chop it down but you will most likly get pulled for it.

Hi

Legally you can't trim them down (well, there is an allowance for TINY amount from the corners if I remember rightly) and you must have one on the front.

All the best

I personally never had one of my Gilera DNA50 or my CBR125. Was never pulled over, but I do now, on the account they inspect your bike before allowing you to do your module 1.

the law alows for "rounding off the corners"
how that is interpreted is fairly random.....

I snapped my rear one off 6 months ago when cleaning, not had one since, had various cops stop at lights behind me. I'm fairly good at feigning stupidity that it was there at the beginning of the day
