Trimming L Plates

Hi everyone, I own a 2017 Peugeot Kisbee SLN, and I love the looks but hate the the way the front L plate looks. I don't mind the back L plate as much as it's mounted below the number plate. I was thinking of trimming down the front and just leaving a small white box just bigger than the L but was thinking I would get pulled and fined. Anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.

 

You would be unlucky. Although I don't need an L plate, I run around with a number plate smaller than an A4 envelope and have never been pulled.

 

Thanks

 

Depending on the coppers opinion I think.
I never had front L plates.
Figured no front number plate, why bother with an L plate.
Trimming it is illegal though

 

That's a fair point actually, thanks.

 

Here's a good story about the law and coppers reaction to bikes.
One time (years ago) I had a 125cc cafe racer.
It's was barely legal. No stop lights, no indicators, no stand etc etc.
Noisy as fuck. 14k RPM redline...
I got pulled over by the fuzz.
No front L plate.
I said exactly the same to him. No number plate why an L plate. Plus nowhere to mount it.
He asked if the bike was taxed etc and didn't believe it had MOT.
After a check he found out it was all legal and sent me on my merry way with a warning about the L plate.

 

I have had 3 points for no front L plate when I was 16 and on my first bike

Think I may have been unlucky tho

 

Feel like I might just have to do my A1 when I'm 17 and work my way up

 

It was about 20years ago mind

 

That is unlucky. You must be gutted.

 

At the time I was, think I’m over it now lol
