Green "L" Plates
Discussion
The Green L is the same as the Green P but the latter tends to be most common. I dont understand why somebody would want to use them though, some motorists give learners some pretty rough treatment for simple mistakes which if committed by anyone without L's they wouldnt beep at them. With no markings on your car nobody else knows how long you've been driving, which can be better.

I'm sure this will have been done to death before.Anyway, I see someone with green P/L plates as asking other road users for a bit of patience as they've just fluked a test pass. Nothing wrong with that, and anyone putting undue pressure on another roaduser is a w

Well thats just it really, if you'd just passed your test and were confident in your driving you'd go 'Green L's? Stuff that!' To me a Green L is 'Ive passed my driving test but im probably not very good at driving.'Anyway, I see someone with green P/L plates as asking other road users for a bit of patience as they've just fluked a test pass.

I feel a certain warmness from giving learners a lot of room. No, I don't piss myself. Just feels nice to go against the stigma of "sports car, wThe people who honk their horns at learners who stall at junctions etc are total w

I remember being traumatised in a 3-cylinder Yaris with an M3 wanting to make decent progress on the road I was blocking him on, and I'd imagine a good few learners feel the same way when they see a VX behind them. I let them take their time, the instructors are generally switched on and 90% of the time will get off the main road if they see a queue/hoonigan behind them.sebhaque said:

I remember being in a Pug 206 as my learner car on my second lesson and i was travelling down quite a wide road at 30mph, perfectly legal, making good progress then some blonde bker driver who wants to go quick" that learners seem to have.

My instructor leant over and pressed the horn, he was not a happy bunny.Couple of months ago i was going round a roundabout behind a learner, not in a learner car or anything it was a normal car with L's and typical of a learner in the early stages had no lane discipline and wandered slowly across and blocked off some t
t in a Golf who was going too fast anyway, beeped at them, gave a hand signal and flew off. It held him up by about 3 seconds, big deal.I still think learning in unmarked cars would be an interesting experiment. t

The way some people drive round here, I wouldn't be surprised if the learners are some of the better drivers on the roads ts tend to not get the 'im better than you' bullish attitude with a full licence holder and wont give them the abuse a learner would get for the same mistake.
