Posted February 22, 201411 yr I've been tearing my house apart for the last 4 hours looking for my driving licence counterpart but no luck yet, I need it by next Thursday so not much chance of getting a copy by then so I'll just have to think of where I hid last, worst idea ever to have your licence in two half's neither is of little use on its own anyway

February 22, 201411 yr I had to replace my licence* recently, the 10 year rip off, and it took a week for the turnaround so you would be cutting it fine tommy. I have scans of my paper licence for sending off to new insurers etc, dunno know if you have that, or even if they would accept it**. * I had heard some stories of folk sending off their photo licence and it coming back with no motorcycle entitlement on it and with no proof they had to resit the testing process, luckily I had lost mine and lo and behold I found it soon after my new licence, with the bike on it, arrived, would you credit it. **Rather than it going to waste, I'm sure me or one of the other 'scotch lads' could turn up for you
February 22, 201411 yr Tommy I keep a copy of my licence under the seat of the bike "just in case" have you looked there? If not there how about in the glove box of the car, always a favourite.
February 22, 201411 yr Moderator I just ask the wife, it'll turn up as she "tidied it away" sometime ago.

February 22, 201411 yr Author Typical scouser " own up , your on a life ban,,,, Ha ha Its the only thing I have that's clean John oops hope mrs XS doesn't see this
February 24, 201411 yr Author Well I've run out of place's to look, looks like I'm fooked going to give Clive at Motoscotland a call in the morning but don't hold out much hope, It say's on the website I need both parts of my licence and friday is the last day I was allowed to go (terms of competition) I'll see if he'll let another YOC member go in my place, if anyone is interested PM me, Ive also booked one night at the Argyll hotel in Inveraray can still cancel that for free till tomorrow though,was planning to visit my sister in Oban for the second night but that's not on offer to any of you lot.
February 25, 201411 yr Author Still not found it, so I called Clive to tell him the bad news, he doesn't think it will be a problem, I just need to call DVLA and get them to send me confirmation by email or fax that I have an up to date licence and even if they won't he said to just bring the DVLA phone number and he'll speak to them when i Get there, so all's good I'm ready to go. Wahoooooooooooooooooo

February 25, 201411 yr Well done mate...Result. Suppose it's just like hiring a van. If you forget the paper part, my local van hire mob call DVLA and charge you £2.50 for the privilege.
February 25, 201411 yr Author yes Jim I wish I knew that before I demolished my house over the weekend. Im now doing the 2 day course so wont be traveling home till sunday, is it still ok to drop in ?
February 25, 201411 yr Good news tommo. Mind the waterproofs , rains every day up here, just dosn"t flood . as the ground has been shaped to run off . thru millions of years of rain,,
February 25, 201411 yr I know you have not time to wait for Swansea to get things posted to you, but having read in the MCN about people loosing their driving entitlements on their licences when they have to change details or add info, I called the DVLA and got them to send me a print of my driving licence entitlements, once I received this I scan copied my original licence and sent the original to them to be updated, I know they probably would still weasel out of any errors on their part but it gave me a bit more confidence to have a bit more proof.
February 25, 201411 yr Author Good news tommo. Mind the waterproofs , rains every day up here, just dosn"t flood . as the ground has been shaped to run off . thru millions of years of rain,, just hope there's no snow I remember the first time I saw snow poles lining the road up there, I didn't have a clue what they were cos' it was summer I asked one of the locals and they told me its so you know where road is when it snows, I thought some thieving scouser had nicked the street lamps
