Driving test whoopsie

robjf · 9 Mar 2006 at 21:22

Basically one of my friends at school got her purse stolen yesterday and this had her provisional licence in it, which proves a bit of a problem as her test is tomorrow at 10.44. Is there anything she can do in this situation?

Thanks again guys, any replies and shell be sooo greatful!

I have bad news, according to here:

http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Category.asp?cat=101

She has to rearrange her test and apply for a new licence

both parts of your photo card licence. If you do not take both parts of your licence your test will not take place and you will lose your fee. If you misplace your licence, you must apply for a replacement from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), which could take up to 15 days. If this happens, you may have to rearrange your test

I thought the counterpart and and other suitable form of photo ID would suffice. Can't be sure tho, check the back of all the documents it says on there.

edit no actually, doesnt look like it

I lost my provisional as well the day before my test. Get her to phone the DVLA tomorrow morning (they open at 8am or 7am i believe) and they'll fax proof that she has a licence to the test centre. They'll only do this once though so if she fails she'll need to get a new provisional. She'll also need to bring some photo ID with her such as a passport.

I cant chill out when your joking about something which offends me as a female driver.

Firestar_3x · 10 Mar 2006 at 11:42

I've got no problems with women drivers, sure some of them do 30mph in a 60 and some insist they can reverse park, but long as you stay out of the way i don't see a problem

No really women drivers are great, just not as great as us blokes

Although a current case in point is the woman who was at court for driving with no hands on the steering wheel, whilst applying make up... Which she said was a "blonde moment" and was then in court again a week later for DD.

Hardly conclusive of the female gender is it.

Did she crash? no well then not really much against woman drivers

whereas mens insurance is higher than females, showing men have bigger and worse crashes than females
