Green P?

Post by Martin »

Victoria recently introduced the Green P plates system for cars which i hear is in use pretty much everywhere else (so we're just catching up), but my question was, do i have to display green or red ps on my bike?
i drive under green ps on my car
im still on Ls on my bike, but when i change to Ps do i go to reds? or straight to green because of what i drive with? i know that you have to display P plates on the bike for as long as you have to display them on the car
green or red?

You have to display a red P.
it doesnt matter what your car liecence status is, your motorcycle P plate must be red, as it signifies the first stage of P plate.
There is no second stage of P plates for motorcycles, so you dont display a green P.
Mistakes:
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

maybe nobody really knows! maybe the government is making everything up as they go along! maybe democracy is merely a flimsy guise for a fascist dictatorship?!
