✋ YOUR L PLATES SHOULDN’T REQUIRE A MEDIUM TO CONFIRM THEY’RE STILL WITH US.
If your red L has faded into a faint pink memory, it’s time to replace it.
Other drivers shouldn’t need binoculars, a séance and three character references to establish you’re learning.
Yes, I know some are made from cheaper materials and fade quicker than someone’s enthusiasm when you mention parallel parking. That explains how it happened.
It doesn’t make the plate magically visible.
You need correctly sized plates with a red L on a white background, easily seen at the front and rear. In Wales, you can use D plates instead. Failing to display the correct plates can mean up to SIX penalty points before you’ve even passed.
“I’m waiting until I pass.”
Lovely. In the meantime, you’re displaying a white square with unresolved identity issues.
Check them before you drive.
Faded, damaged or barely recognisable? Replace them.
They’re learner plates, not family heirlooms. You don’t need to keep them until the reading of the will.
Have you seen any around your local area ? 🤔
