Driving Licence Help!!!!!!!

[NoIamPooh]

I got done for speeding in Norwich last saturday (we travel on 19th Dec). I had to produce my licence and insurance to my local police (London) last Monday, where the police clerk assured me that it would be processed the same day. I have spoken to the central ticket office in Norwich, who confirmed that they would turn it around immediately they recieved it. I have since found out that the police did not send it until Wednesday, and they sent it to the London Central Ticket Office for them to send to Norwich (no London cannot endorse a Norwich ticket). Norwich CTO have been in touch with London, who cannot confirm they have it until this Wednesday!

What can I do? any advice gratefully appreciated.

I cannot apply for a replacement, as it is not officially lost until 6-weeks have passed, and there is a possible 2-year £1000 penalty for false statement on the application form.

If you are worried about it for flying, your passport will suffice for airline security.

DO you need it to rent a car? WHat about getting an international drivers lic...just an option.

An international DL is just a translation of your current DL and is only good with the current DL.

You might try posting this on the UK boards.... I am not sure most of us have a clue what to tell you. Sorry!
