    hi all..

    was just going to book my place online for speed awareness course but noticed you need to take both photo driving license and the original paper copy.. I dont have this anymore.. will I be able to attend with just the photo card?

    have tried to look online about getting a replacement paper copy but looks like I cant get that..

    thanks!

    I did my Speed Awareness Course today and was not asked for the paper part of my licence. This was despite being advised that if I did not have it, I may not be accepted on the course!!

  • Surely this would be of most benefit to new drivers... where you get your license revoked after 6 points in your first 2 years after passing, or 3 points which would probably double your insurance anyway.

    You will need to apply for a replacement licence. Your photocard alone is not a valid licence, you MUST be able to produce both parts if requested by the police.
  • what happens if you only have the old style licence. Will this be accepted:confused:.

    I have just got a NIP for 36 in a 30. Blooming car was playing silly beggars that day. I had pulled out of s side road and it kept cutting out so I put a bit of gas on to get going up the hill. Was over 30 a second before I slowed down again to turn off the road. But no excuses. There was a form in about the driver course. Will I definetly be offered it.

    Yes, that's OK. You just have to take a photographic form of identification along as well, such as your passport.
