Essential documents
You have just passed your test. Must you by law display green 'P' plates as a new driver?
- No, P plates are optional but you may display them if you wishCorrect
- Yes, for one year, or you are fined
- Yes, for your first two years of driving
- Yes, until you reach the age of 21
Why?
Unlike L plates, which learners must display by law, green P plates for new drivers are voluntary. You can use them to show you have just passed, but there is no legal duty to. Plate rules for drivers are covered in Annex 3 of The Highway Code.
