Counterpart (the paper bit) of your driving license RIP!

[Shane32]

Nowadays passing the driving test is not that an easy task. You’ll need to know all the driving rules and should have good driving practice. That is why I am going to learn manual and automatic driving at the Port Macquarie Driving School. Only after completing my training I’ll take the test.

I wouldn't use any driving school run by convicts.

So has anyone tried accessing the site more recently to generate this code? Can you still use your paper counterpart instead if you have it, to hire vans etc?

I used it back in the summer to get my details for a hire car in the South of France.

There was an hilareous number of people in the rental office who hadn't brought a code and were dispatched to first call their accountant/work to get their NI number then to queue up to use an internet computer in the office to get the code.

In fairness, I'd had no fewer than three emails off the hire company on the runup to my holiday reminding me I needed to do this, one of which was the day before departure. I presume the others did too.

The lady at the desk actually seemed shocked when I walked in and handed her every bit of paper I was supposed to. As a result, I was off on my way withinh a couple of minutes.

I took my first lot of L plates down the pub and threw darts at them.
All paper counterparts are literally worthless now.
I changed my licence to card only this year as my photo was out of date.
I 'lost' the old 2 part one until I was certain that they hadn't omitted anything
on the new one.

Ah, I just kept my all my test pass certificates and instead surrendered my licence at the test centre after Mod 2 and
they sent my licence in for me to have the new full group added. Thought it made sense keeping hold
of the original paperwork.Besides, I didn't get many certificates at school so wanted to keep these ones

I have the pass certificate as well, but having a record that the DVLA actually acknowledged it is nice.

Even if they recorded it as "A2" because... DVLA.

Nah, the slightly older style card and counterpart version had groups on the back too.
