Speed awareness course -lost photocard

[JimmyConwayNW]

I have a speed awareness course on Wednesday this week.

I have lost my photocard license and doubt I will have one back by Wednesday. M

Common sense says passport and paper license anything dvla related says otherwise,

Anyone any ideas ?

The card is your driving licence. The paper bit is your counterpart driving licence. The clue is in the wording written at the top.



You should call the course provider and ask about attending without your driving licence. No point turning up to be turned away.

Yep, you will get turned away without it, which is something that happened to someone on here and a thread kicked off about it.

At least you've checked beforehand, you have a good chance of explaining and getting it put back and rebooking it and it all goes well.

Excellent will try to rebook tomorrow for a later date.

Thanks chaps.

The course may allow other forms of ID to be used. If you are able to use another form of ID, do not use along it with the remaining part of your licence as your driving licence is formed of both parts and you will most likely be refused entry. On the course I attended, presenting your driving licence was mandatory, however on one my friend attended (different area) it was not. Your paperwork should confirm what is acceptable identification.

Totally forgot mine approx four years ago but by a total stroke of luck I happened to have a photocopy with me of both parts which i have about my person for the annual Le Mans pilgrimage. After much umming and ahhing they finally accepted but not something I'd want to repeat!

That's the fella.

It was reversed in that case, but it was still a case of both parts or nothing.
