Red L plates are mandatory for provisional licence holders.

Green L plates are optional for full licence holders. usually displayed by drivers who have just passed their test but are still a bit frightened of driving, they hope other drivers will be more tolerant of them!

thanks toureman, do they replace the green P plates then, i thought that was what they were for!
Neither green L plates or P plates of any colour have any legal meaning in the UK. They are both taken to mean "new driver".
yep they both mean the same thing, but are not compulsory in Britain as dan says.
I believe you have to use green P plates for 6 months after passing in N.Ireland though.
