I was a happy bunny when I learned that the new driving licence would be a photo card. 'Great', I thought, 'no more carrying round that big piece of paper, and it'll be good for proving who I am as well'. Of course, I was cheezed in the extreme to discover that the new driving licence is in fact a photo card and a paper licence, and that the licence is not technically complete unless you are carrying them both. Any jobsworth copper could refuse to accept your photocard as proof of anything unless you're carrying the paper counterpart as well.

So I have to say I am not at all confident that any bureaucrat can devise a scheme that is genuinely convenient for users. The civil service mindset just doesn't work like that.
is it really that hard to keep the piece of paper in the glovebox or the bit in the side of the door wear all the snotty tissues seem to congregate?

i keep mine separate tho, the plasticky bit stays in my wallet cos i still get ID'd at pubs etc (im only ickle and 18 :p)
