L Plates

ive been riding around without a front L plate for a while and not 1 cop has stopped me or asked where it is , is it legal to not have 1 on the front

 

you must have both front and rear L plates, for each missing L plate with a arsehole cop youll get 3 points and a £60 fine. its illegal to not have a L plate on the front. if you are riding on a CBT you must display both front and rear L plates. most of the police don't care but one day there will be that exceptional arsehole of a cop who decides you not having one is worth 3 points and £60 fine.

hope that helps.

 

thanks for advice but on my bike i dont really know where to put one 1 seen as your not supposed to put them on your mudguard

 

behind windshield?
can get brackets for them to go onto the fork, if anything, just put one on the mudguard, I doubt youd get a cop that much of a arsehole that will bother doing you for having it on mudguard, as long as its there, should be fine.

 

Or do your test and throw them in the bin

 

pointless doing test unless your 19 now (assuming OP isnt) because youll be stuck on a 125cc. atleast i dont have that issue

 

I had mine on Front Mudguard.

never had any problems with it

 

i have just a small L on the front mudguard, ran it for 3 months without being stopped, and i leave it parked outside work with cops coming through constantly and nothing was ever said

 

I don't need L plates, but I've noticed coppers looking at the front and seeing that I don't have one then looking at the rear.
Unless they were just "admiring, my ride" [moviequote] I'm sure I would have been stopped if I had one on the rear and not the front.

 

am not gonna bother tbh with an L plate on the front,, i got told in cbt your not to put them on mudguards so when they stop n ask al go wer am i supposed to put 1
