Must a learner driver drive with an L-Plate displayed?

Question:

Requirments for Learner Drivers – “L” Plates

I know in some countries a Learner Driver driving under a Provisional or Learners License MUST not drive if the vehicle is clearly marked with “L” Plates. Is this the case in RSA? If so, in which Legislation or Regulations can this be found? If not, can police officers still Fine said Learner driver for ‘Failure to Display “L” Plate’; even though he was accompanied by an Appropriately Licensed Driver? Thank You

Answer:

At present I am not aware of any legislation requiring an L-plate to be displayed.

When the new Provisional Driving Licence becomes law, this requirement will apply:

Is there a size limitation on an advertisement displayed in the back window of my vehicle?

Question:

I recently had the privilege  to ride in a car that’s  rear window had a full blown textured advertisement on it.

To my shock I discovered that if the sun shines on the rear window I can see nothing.

When I tried to reverse I found that unless I can see an object directly behind me, I could in fact not see where I am going.

Now I notice it is now common practise for businesses to advertise like that, is this not contravening above regulation?

I am just wondering, because my observation now is that I notice drivers with rear windows like that seem to have

Problems with navigating the road.

Answer:
It is illegal to have an advertisement that covers more than 1/8 of the rear window.
