Neal H 876 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm booked on the LoT track day at Hethel on 2nd June. It says you must bring "a full driving licence". Is the photo card sufficient or do they need a download of the counterpart bit as well? It's been a while since my last track day! Thanks, Neal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,136 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm pretty sure on most trackdays I've been on the plastic part is ok, but I usually take the paper part and other docs I might need in a plastic wallet just in case.

550superfast 446 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I didn't think the paper bit existed any longer. Always been ok at LoT with just photocard. Quote https://www.youtube.com/user/400superamerica Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Alfa2Evora 705 Posted May 23, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 ^^^ This. When you renew your licence these days, you only get the photocard - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/driving-licence-changes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MPx 267 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 You'll only need your photocard part - the paper part is no longer valid as said above. However, its worth having a note of your National Insurance number with you. Some places (incl for car/van hire) get twitchy about doing a points check and that's now available online on the DVLA site using the Driving License number AND the corresponding National Insurance number.

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,248 Posted May 24, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I only have my original paper licence and never had an issue just using that. Well, I call it a paper licence but actually it is physically more sellotape than paper. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0.

Bravo73 1,293 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 How do you take them off the licence again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM C8RKH 6,248 Posted May 25, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 You don't! They stay on forever. But they have an "award" date and they expire so whilst they are not "active" you can still see them. Quite logical really for a system that was created probably pre the micro-processor!

Bravo73 1,293 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 FWIW, the only reason that the photo cards ‘expire’ is because of the photo. As people get older, they need new ID photos. The licence rights themselves don’t expire until you’re 70. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM C8RKH 6,248 Posted May 25, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 And it generated revenue of what, 30m drivers paying £30 every ten years - nice little earner.... lol....
