I was involved in an accident (someone went into back of me) week last Thursday, the insurance subsidiary help hire persued a three way call with the DVLA, whereby I was shocked to be told my licence was a provisional - DVLA say they never received my application. I thought I had lost my licence during a recent move.
The next day I sent recorded delivery to the DVLA a copy of my practical test, copy of theory pass, a copy of the letter received from DVLA back when I applied, thanking me for my application (so they did receive my application) the letter asked for a copy signed photograph, which I sent back to them, I also sent a copy of this with my recent letter. I checked royal mail and they received this letter 2nd May.
My MP has also sent a letter to the Chief Executive which they would have received Friday just gone.
I am extremley worried about this now, that my licence may not be a full licence as I believed, and I could be in trouble for driving without a licence, which will also mean my insurance is invalid.
This has never been picked up on during the eleven years I have been driving, I have had two accidents previously where this was not an issue. I have always taxed and insured my vehicles.
