I have the sticky ones, stick it to the front of your scooter, and you might have to improvise to display an L-plate at the back.

I did some experimenting today and found the most useful L plates for me.
Use a solid L plate (only really be bought from bike shops in my experience) for the rear and screw it to the space below the number plate. This will ensure that it stays on through all conditions.
For the front it's best to use a standard "sticky" one. I cut the edges on mine so that it would touch all surfaces and therefore not let too much wind underneath.
Hope this helps anyone who is having trouble !

i used sticky ones, but got some double sided sticky tape to give it extra stickyness, one on the front slightly to the left and one on the back on my top box

Yes, you get a fine of £30 if you are not displaying L-plates at either front or back, if you are displaying no L-plates and you're ment to be then you get a £60 fine, if that makes sense?!

thats not so bad actually £60 quid allmost worth not having them
you get so many annoying people when you have L plates that must overtake you but i guess some kind people do help give way etc so bit of both really

What does a L plate look like & what is it for? ok this is the law in the UK, if you have a full car licence or motorcycle you dont need L plates, however if you dont have licence (like me), you need to take a training course which is valid for two years and have L plates. In realality I am a learner rider who is training to take a moped test, but im not going to bother, as i should have passed my car test by september

The 'No 'L's' law only applies to people who passed their car test before January 1997 Check out this link www.dvla.gov.uk/drivers/learn2dr.htm#2.%20Motorcycles,%20scooters%20and%20mopeds

I see...interesting. Thanks for the info In my state, they only require a car operators license. If the rider is under 16 years or does not have a car license, then they can get a license for moped only. In addition you have to have a registration sticker.
