richmcgin 32 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Apparently it's technically illegal to photo copy your licence because it's an official police document or some bollocks like that? I just leave mine at home, I go out in all weathers it would soon get knackered if I took it with me, if I didn't loose it first! its ok, as long as your write across it, this is a copy You dont need to because when you copy it the word Fraud appears right across it Quote Link to post

drakeshead gunner 26 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 A mate suggested this to me, just take a photo on ya phone of permission sheet and licence. That way there is no paper in the car to be stolen and nothing to get wet when your out. Quote Link to post
dadioles 68 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Don't take the original as a matter of routine, it is too precious. Just carry a photo copy it can save a bit of hassle. Don't go out without some form of I.D. though as you may have to satisfy them of who you are. Quote Link to post
PMC 2 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Me and my shooting buddy both carry our tickets as a matter of course. I have mine in in a plastic wallet bought from a stationary shop, which conveniently fits in the pocket of my rifle slip. FAC is as pristine as the day it arrived and ready to reassure the uninformed copper that may wish to pull me over PMC Quote Link to post
