do you know if you get demerits for getting pulled up at 4am? or is it just a straight fine?

I only rocked an L plate when I sat the test too, but keep in mind, you arent legally on the road without it, so insurance doesnt apply. A lot of the fines are cheaper now ($100 as opposed to $400) but carry heavy demerit point penalties. So if you get pinged for speeding and no L plate, you're easily halfway to losing your license.

"Yes officer I definitely had my L plate screwed onto my bike but it must have come off in the crash!"

If need be...

Anyway, doesn't the reason of not giving insurance go with the reason for the crash? I.e. not displaying your L-plate isn't the reason a learner may crash down a side street with no other cars around...

Otherwise you'd have people crashing all over the place and insurance could say well obviously you were driving carelessly, which is against the law, so have fun with that crashed bike we ain't paying you shit.
