In Ireland, learner permit holders for all categories (except W) must display 'L' plates on both the front and rear of their vehicles while driving. These plates must have a red 'L' on a white background, with the letter at least 15cm high and a border of at least 2cm. Failure to display L plates is an offence carrying a fixed charge fine and up to 4 penalty points.
A person granted their first full driving licence from August 1, 2014, must display N plates on their vehicle for a period of two years. This applies to any vehicle for which they hold a licence during that period. For motorcycles, an N-tabard must be worn.
Non-display of N plates is an offence under Irish traffic law, punishable by a fine up to €1,000 for a first offence. It also carries 2 penalty points upon payment of a fixed charge, or 4 penalty points upon conviction.
Yes, a learner driver may carry passengers in Ireland, but they must be accompanied by a qualified driver who holds a full, valid driving licence for the same category of vehicle for at least two years and is seated in the front passenger seat. Additionally, specific passenger restrictions apply, and learner drivers must always display L-plates.
No, the novice period applies only once. If you hold a driving licence for one category of vehicle and, after the initial two-year novice period, become entitled to drive another category, you do not become a novice in respect of the new category.
