I've lost both parts of my licence somewhere recently, and have been meaning to eventually get around to reporting it and reluctantly handing over monies to get a replacement.

But is it actually illegal to not report a lost licence as someone at work said they thought it was?

Not illegal as such, but you will be breaching a HO/RT1 seven day order if you're ever pulled by the police and asked to produce documents. I suppose if that did happen, you could immediately send off for one and explain your position to the Police. I wouldn't fancy that though.

Well if its illegal Why do DVLA have.... This page

Quote:
Get a replacement driving licence online with DVLA if yours gets lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.

Apply using your Government Gateway ID. If you don’t have one or need to re-register, you’ll get an ID as part of your application.


Or maybe its just a ploy to lull you in to applying and then they hit you with a day in court Rolling Eyes

If you (or anyone else) has a record of their driving licence number then you can check your entitlements, points, etc. from this government (dvla) site (clicky link).

You need your licence number, NI number and postcode.

Might be useful to check before asking for a new one in case any entitlements are lost with new copy.

They'll come up with an excuse not to extend your producer. I learned the hard way. Instead of 3 points and £60 I ended up with 6 points and £500 to pay.

I was lucky I got producer, and couldn't find my counterpart, I went in and told them I had ordered other and they game me another week.

The station in Romford (Met) told me they were unable to extend the producer because I was caught by Essex police not met police.

I later found out that was bollocks.

How do you know that you've lost it until you need to find it and can't? Thinking

On conviction? Did you go in unrepresented?

I ask because:


(8) In proceedings against any person for the offence of failing to produce a licence and its counterpart it shall be a defence for him to show that—

(a) within seven days after the production of his licence and its counterpart was required he produced them in person at a police station that was specified by him at the time their production was required, or

(b) he produced them in person there as soon as was reasonably practicable, or

(c) it was not reasonably practicable for him to produce them there before the day on which the proceedings were commenced


Did the Magistrates not like the cut of your jib?

Damn silly law.

I dragged a producer out for a couple of months.

today I have sent off for a replacement licence. I had to tick the change of address, lost and update photo boxes. This could be interesting as each box has a different postal code in DVLA. Rolling Eyes

I didn't go to court, plead guilty to the speeding by post. Just accepted the refusal to extend the producer part as a good little 18 year old would.

Having a look at that DVLA thing....

With regards to motorcycles, what does this actually mean?

"You can drive a motorcycle of a power exceeding 35kW or with a power to weight ratio exceeding 0.2kW per kg, or A motorcycle of a power not exceeding 35kW with a power to weight ratio not exceeding 0.2kW per kg and derived from a vehicle of more than double its power. A motor tricycle with a power exceeding 15kW"

Bloody hell, that's a mouthful. Mine just says 'You can drive any size motorbike, with or without a sidecar', which is what yours says in a very roundabout way(If I have read it right)

I think that there may be a mistake then.... I have a CBT that is due to expire in January, I took a CBT about 15 years ago (when it ended, I had put the scooter away...) and passed my driving licence in April last year. Now, the idea in my head is buy a Street Triple, and argue the toss if anything should happen. (I don't have the balls or the funds for any of that, though...)
