Photocard licence

The card is credit card size. The counterpart is A4. Legally you are supposed to carry them both around together.

Don't question it; whoever came up with it is one of Brown's servants.

I could tell you that......it would be a lie but I could.
New licence is in two parts and requires both parts to be presented. That said, the card part is accepted by most as proof of ID you just need the paper bit (which carries points and stuff) when asked for a producer.

I didn't think you had to carry either, just produce them on demand. Everytime I've needed to show my licence (like hiring a car) they've demanded to see both, but I guess the idea is that the card you can carry around all the time to use as ID or if the police stop you for doing 30.000001 mph. The counterpart only shows your points.

Legally you should keep them together. Of course no-one does. What a design travesty of our time.

If you drive in Europe, well Denmark for certain, you need the photocard one, and you also need to carry the paper counterpart.

I love whipping it out over here. When peeps look at all the pictures of vehicles I'm allowed to drive they go ooooohhhhh.

<plop> sound of threaded pulling his head out of his own arse.
<chomp> sound of threaded eating his pies.
<schlump> sound of threaded putting his head back up his own arse.

Would that be so he can re-eat the pie as it comes out?

Yup, saves the discomfort of regurgitation.
