Does anyone know what the restrictions for "L" and "N" plates are and what they are supposed to achieve? Seems the worst driving I see usually involves drivers carrying "N" plates, but today I saw a young, single guy in a Trans Am with an "L" blow two red lights in a row and nearly broadside another car. Great to know this stalwart citizen is going to be out there on the streets for the next forty years.

RE; N and L
The reason for the N or L is so that the public take notice of the new drivers and makes a effort to rat on them....if they get called in for wut u r describing then they would get a suspension for up too one more year....
It is some tthey tried in other counries and seems to work....They are leaving it up too the public(you and me)the tax payers to help mold and train these kids...no one like rats,but deep down inside how would u feel if u seen that same guy and car sitting ontop of a crowd of ppl 3 days later...
I have not yet phoned in any myself,cause i was not the most resposible driver when i was younger,but i did lose my lic. soooo many times back then tooo.the last time i lost it for 3 years,and knock on wood I have not had a single ticket since (just over 9 years now.)

When the "L" is on the car, it indicates that the car is driven by a Learning driver who has an instructor/adult in the car with them. The "L" should only displayed when those conditions apply.Cock Throppled said:
When the "N" is on the car, it indicates that the car is driven by a New driver who has a valid driver's licence. It is displayed until the driver is through their probationary period.
Does that mean an "L" driver always has to have someone with them? This guy was alone and driving like an asshole with arms.sdw said:
yes! if you have his plate number phone the police. even if you only have a description, call them. the asshat should have his license revoked.Cock Throppled said:
I called one guy with an N who was strafing my house with his bloody POS every night ... the cops paid him a visit, and the parents took his car away ... now he has to borrow the parent's yuppie-wagon to 'cruise'.
