Question 5479

If a novice driver's license is declared to have lost its validity, once they recover the license, must they display the sign shown in the image?

  1. Yes, because the period during which the license had lost its validity does not count.
  2. Only if no more than one calendar year has passed since the license was obtained.
  3. No, under no circumstances.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because the period during which the license had lost its validity does not count.

Yes. You display the L plate during the first year of your first driver's license, but any time when your license is no longer valid does not count. The clock stops and resumes where it left off when you regain your license. If you had displayed it for four months, you will display it for eight more months, no matter how much time has passed.
