Lost my licence yesterday....

Reported it to the police who then informed me I can't drive/ride until I get a replacement licence.

Good to hear it turned up.

If you report your licence lost or stolen you can continue to drive. You do need to get a replacement but this doesn't have any effect on your legal entitlement to drive as a licence holder.

The only offence you could be liable for is failing to produce your driver licence. However if you have reported the loss to the police this is very unlikely to occur.

Thanks spudchucka. As someone in the know. I rang in the loss and the lady I spoke to went and had a look, but nothing had been handed in. She said I would need to call in to the station and fill out some forms. I never actually filled the forms in as the wallet turned up a couple of hours later. Will it still be on file?
