I know Dan (DML) pretty much has this in the bag by have had L-Plates on his SL500, we are now teaching daughter to drive ourselves.
Fortunately the "Magnetic" plates to NOT stick to my CL55 :) but they do look rather daunting on Viviennes L200 Pick-up. Watch out Guildford area :lol:

2005 CL500.
I've seen it on the odd Porsche.

Is the L200 a manual?

I think Stumpy has seen them on all kinds of Nigerian owned exotica regardless of the legality/status of the ''driving licence'' in the UK or elsewhere for that matter.

I had the same problem with my L plates - you just have to tape them on :D

Go on, let her drive the CL!

That's very unfortunate for the pensioner and probably more-so for their family but this is simply darwinism in action!

Here is another exampe, yes it looks painful but really - if you make stupid decisions you must live with the consequences... unfortunately she wasn't removed from the gene pool:

a friend of mine owned one (he passed away quite a few years ago now) and he told me that they had to be insured. i see quite a few around here with number plates and tax discs too!

Yeah, I like how she just stands there at the end waiting for other people to lift her scooter down for her.

Exactly, standing, not walking.
