| Fair enough take the right docs with you to Halfords or wherever. I went for a plate knowing you needed your V5 and some ID so off I go with my V5, driving licence, credit cards and my Army ID. Proof of ownership, address, signature and photo ID. Was it acceptable, no it flippin wasn't. Off I go home to get a bank statement for proof of address so the spotty little oik behind the counter can see my finances. Have to bring a passport as my Army ID is no good, obviously fake passports don't happen do they. If I had had one of those photo driving licences that would have done too but why should I pay for a new licence when there is nothing wrong with my old paper one. No-one likes this legislation except the berks who came up with it in the first place. If anyone thinks that it makes a blind bit of difference to criminals at all they want their head examining and a good dose of common sense beaten into them. I need to lie down before I burst an artery. |
