Why Do Motorbikes Have L Plates?

As a learner rider, you have little road experience and as such, L plates are used to inform other road users. L plates must be fixed in an upright position to that they are clearly visible from the front and back.

Do I need L plates on my motorbike?

You don't need L-plates. You are restricted to 28mph. If you haven't ridden before, we would strongly suggest that you still take a basic rider training course (Compulsory Basic Training - CBT). Anyone else must take a basic motorcycle training course called Compulsory Basic Training (CBT).

What does l mean on motorcycle?

An L-plate is a square plate bearing a sans-serif letter L, for learner, which must be affixed to the front and/or back of a vehicle in many countries if its driver is a learner under instruction, or a motorcycle rider with provisional entitlement to ride restricted motorcycles.
