Magnetic Green P Plates (Pair) – NSW P2 Speed Display Plates for Provisional Drivers

Magnetic Green P Plates (Pair): NSW P2 Speed Display Plates for Provisional Drivers

These Magnetic Green P Plates give P2 drivers a quick, hassle-free way to display their plates on the front and back of the vehicle. Sold as a pair, each plate measures 150 x 150mm and shows the green P on a white background, with a speed display for use in NSW. They fit securely when you need them and lift off cleanly when you don't.

The main benefit of magnetic plates is convenience, particularly with a shared car. A P2 driver can pop the plates on before borrowing a family car and take them off afterwards, with no adhesive residue, suction marks, clips or drilling. That makes them a practical choice for any household where the same vehicle is driven by both provisional and full-licence drivers.

The speed display version is specific to NSW, where P2 (green P plate) drivers must not exceed 100km/h. Displaying green P plates clearly on the front and rear is a legal requirement in NSW throughout the P2 period, and failing to display them can attract penalties, so a reliable, easy-to-fit pair is worth having on hand.

Displaying Your P Plates in NSW

In NSW, P2 drivers must display green P plates so they are clearly visible from both the front and the back of the vehicle whenever driving, for the full two-year P2 period. Green P plate (P2) drivers in NSW are limited to a maximum of 100km/h regardless of the posted limit, which is why NSW plates often carry the 100 speed display. Plate rules and speed limits differ between states, so if you drive outside NSW or hold an interstate licence, check the current requirements with the relevant road authority.

Getting the Best From Them

• Fit them to bare steel panels. Magnets hold on ferrous metal such as a steel boot, tailgate or bonnet. They will not stick to plastic bumpers, aluminium panels or a plastic number plate, so choose a flat steel surface for a firm hold.

• Clean the surface first. Wipe away grit and dust before fitting. Trapped dirt between the magnet and the paint is the main thing that can mark a surface, so a clean panel protects both the plate and your paintwork.

• Check them before a long or high-speed drive. Press each plate down to make sure it is seated flat and firmly before heading onto the highway.

• Remove them when washing the car. Taking the plates off at wash time keeps the surface underneath clean and dry and stops grit building up beneath the magnet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these green P plates only for NSW?
The speed display on these plates is for NSW, where P2 drivers are limited to 100km/h. Green P plates are used in other states too, but speed limits and plate rules vary, so check your state's requirements if you drive outside NSW.

Where do I have to display my green P plates?
In NSW, green P plates must be clearly visible on both the front and the back of the vehicle at all times while driving during the P2 period. This pair lets you display one at each end.

Will the magnets stick to any car?
They stick to bare steel panels such as a steel bonnet, boot or tailgate. They won't hold on plastic bumpers, aluminium panels or plastic number plates, so pick a flat steel surface.

Will they damage my paint?
Used on a clean, suitable surface they are made to come on and off without adhesive or paint damage. Keeping both the magnet and the panel free of grit is the key to protecting the paintwork.

What is the difference between red P and green P plates?
Red P plates are for P1 drivers, the first provisional stage, and green P plates are for P2 drivers, the second stage. In NSW the speed limits differ too: 90km/h for red P (P1) and 100km/h for green P (P2).
