L plates for non learners?

[Toaster]

I used to borrow the missus bike and had to remove the L plates since it IS an offence to display a yellow L plate unless you hold a learners licence - I have the book here and am reading it and will post the relevent excerpts once found.

Not a major offence as far as general practice goes and isn't even listed in the list of offences given to frontline staff. It is in the LT Rules, yes, but I doubt anyone would be too concerned with it given that there really is no issues regarding safety breaches etc.

when I got pulled for carry a pillion with L Reg ( gos back before L Plates), the cop was ever so slightly miffed about the full license that I had, but no ticket

Exactly. Most cops wouldn't even bother a learner on a bike at 100km/h as long as they kept in line with traffic flow and were being a good little boy or girl.

Yet the law is 70kpm (oops meant 70kph, DOH) for learner bikers (which sucks for the "LB'ers") on the open road, yet learner drivers don't have the same restriction SO if LB'er being good on the open road, they have logging trucks and tankers up their arses, and over-taking them. Bloody dangerious if ya ask me

Off topic buddy. I'm sure this has been discussed time and time again. Don't you mean 70kph btw?

In this strange foreign part of Godzone I have never heard of ANYBODY getting pulled over and hassled for having an 'L' on their bike/car when they did not need the 'L' plate.

I don't know about the law , but I know that when I came in the country, I slaped the L plates coz in my country we drive on the other side , so I wanted to be careful, and drove with an L for 6 monts and never got fined or stopped. Even on a few ocasions asked police on intersection for directions and they never mentioned my L plate even I was alone in the car.

My guess is you are fine leaving the L plate on.
