What are the rules for L plates at night?

Are there any regulations on a learner diver being instructed at night? I overtook one, the weather was poor and the L plate was almost invisible, if it can't be seen then what's the point in having it at all?

In the UK there are no restrictions regarding learner drivers practicing at night, other than the same restrictions that apply during the day - the learner must have appropriate insurance, a provisional licence and be accompanied by a suitably qualified driver.
