Don’t forget your license.
Pause for a second and think, where is your Driving Licence ? In the drawer in the kitchen ?, in your wallet or purse ?, maybe your really organised and everything is filed away so you can find it easily and quickly.
I bet though that the plastic card is in your wallet as it’s so handy for id purposes and the paper counterpart is somewhere else completely, maybe in that box of old receipt’s and other stuff that you’ve been meaning to sort out for ages.
When you find the paper bit have a look at what it say’s, For those of you who still can’t find it this is what it say’s : The photocard and paper counterpart together make up the complete driving licence and should be kept together. Both must be produced when required.
You will be required to produce both parts of your licence on your 1st driving lesson as I am by law required to check it, You will also need to produce both parts when you attend for your Theory Test and most importantly your Driving Test. I see quite often pupils turning up at the test centre all raring to go and then have to go home dejected as they have forgotten or usually lost the paper part.
The cost of this mistake can be expensive, £48.50 for the test, 2hrs of tuition on day of test £40.00 (depending on the school) and another £48.50 to rebook your test and another 2hrs tuition on the new test date. That’s £177.00 all in.
So please keep those documents all together or filed away so you know exactly where they are.
