A white square plate bearing a red letter L, displayed on a motor vehicle driven by a learner driver in the United Kingdom; required by law when a driver who has not yet passed the driving test is driving on public roads, except on motorways.
Origin
From L (the letter, indicating Learner) + plate. The L-plate system was introduced in the UK in 1935 as part of the Road Traffic Act framework establishing a learner driver category. The red L on white background is a legally specified design. In Wales, a D-plate (for dysgwr, Welsh for learner) may be used instead.
