Sharing a car with a learner driver

veryangryman · 2019-05-21 12:53:02

So i'm fully licensed. When i'm in the car as passenger of the learner, the L plate is on the car. No problem there. Do i need to take off the plate when i drive myself?

I learned to drive in the UK and this is exactly what happens. Had my lessons with BSM and the Roof Sign was taken out of the boot of the car when the instructor pulled up, put on the roof for the duration of the lesson, then taken down again before he drove off to the next lesson.

My instructor in Limerick also just used static cling L plates that he removed from the windows when he was driving.

OP - This has to be a wind up??

You have a full lic, you drive the car. Displaying the L plates relates to the second driver only.
If it bothers you, have them do their test asap & change it to an N plate.
And after that you'll have no plates on the car.

Otherwise get a magnetic L plate & remove it each time you drive the car.

But then they’ll still have to remove the N plate
