What Are Red L Plates?

Our red L plates are supplied in pairs for learner drivers who need clear, compliant front and rear learner plates for their car. Each plate measures 178mm × 178mm, with a choice of magnetic or self-adhesive backing depending on how you want to fit and remove them.

Choose magnetic L plates if you want a removable option for suitable steel bodywork, or adhesive L plates if you prefer a longer-term fixing.

Easy-to-Fit Learner Plates

When you are learning to drive, your learner plates should be easy to fit, clearly visible and suitable for the vehicle you are using.
We offer two fitting options so you can choose the type of L plates that best suit your car and how often you need to remove them.

Magnetic L Plates

Our magnetic L plates are a practical option if you want to remove your plates between driving sessions.
The magnetic backing is designed for use on suitable steel vehicle bodywork, allowing you to fit and remove the plates without permanently fixing them to the car.
Before fitting magnetic learner plates, make sure the surface is clean, flat and magnetic so the backing can make proper contact with the bodywork.
Magnetic L plates are particularly useful if the vehicle is also driven by a full licence holder or if you want to use the plates on more than one suitable car.

Adhesive L Plates

Our adhesive L plates are better suited to customers who want a longer-term fitting.
The self-adhesive backing can be applied to a suitable, clean, smooth surface and is a practical choice for vehicles used regularly for driving lessons or private practice.
If you are looking for stick-on L plates, our adhesive option gives you a straightforward alternative to magnetic fitting.

Which L Plates Should I Choose?

Choose magnetic L plates if you want a removable option and your vehicle has suitable steel bodywork.
Choose self-adhesive L plates if you prefer a longer-term fixing and do not need to remove the plates after every driving session.
Not every vehicle panel is magnetic, so we recommend checking your car before ordering the magnetic option.

How Many L Plates Do I Need?

Learner drivers in Great Britain must display L plates at both the front and rear of the vehicle so they are clearly visible to other road users.
We supply all of our L plates in pairs, so one pack provides the two learner plates you need for a standard front and rear display.
For further guidance on learner plate display requirements, you can check the official GOV.UK learner-driver guidance.

Where to Put L Plates for Learner Drivers

Your L plates should be displayed at the front and rear of the vehicle where other road users can see them clearly.
They should not obstruct your view or interfere with lights, registration plates or other important vehicle features.
For magnetic plates, choose a clean, flat section of suitable magnetic bodywork. For adhesive plates, use a clean, smooth surface that allows the plate to sit flat and remain clearly visible.
