Displaying L-plates

If you are driving with a learner's permit you need to display L-plates on the vehicle to warn other people that you are an inexperienced driver.

L-plates must meet the following requirements:
  • The minimum size is shown in the diagram. L-plates must have the letter L painted in black on a yellow background.
  • L-plates must be clearly visible from the front and rear of the vehicle (rear only for motor bikes).
  • L-plates must not be displayed on the vehicle when the driver is not a learner driver (except when a licensed driving instructor is driving to or from a lesson).

L-plates can be purchased at a Service SA customer service centre or through the Service SA online shop.

For more information about driving with a learner's permit go to the My Licence website.
