Photocard licence

[darmstadt]

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.

The German police thought (probably still do if I get stopped again) my UK one was strange but pretty good. Firstly they wanted to know where the photo was. Then they wanted to know why it was so large and in a fetching shade of pink and green. The extra pages were for all my traffic endorsments (67 points total on it when I moved here) which they thought was pretty nifty as they only have a credit card sized photo license and your points are held on a big computer in Flensburg. In the old East Germany they used to punch holes for points on your license and the copper remarked that my license would be pretty religious (holey) by now.

Piles?

Funny enough I had a look at my licence last year and was surprised at what categories I was covered for.

Don't know what you get on passing your test these days, but when I got mine (circa 20 years ago) it's seems I was automatically qualified to drive everything from A to E, with the exception of a 16+ ton tractor/trailer.

PS: I'll leave the whipping it out bit for someone else to comment on...
