    Morning all. i was out last night and got chatting to a a friend of a friend. He reckons he has a full drivers licence but never sat the test. He claims he just sent off a request for a replacement after he lost it and no questions where asked. Would this be possible? Im thinking he probably knows someone in the office who did a bit of fiddling for him or hes a complete bullshi**ter

    This used to work

    I know of three that got full bike licences but reporting full car licences lost and adding the bike on the form I also know of one person that tried and failed because the clerk checked and he just said it was a mustake so it's possaible yer friend did this

    The cases I know of were between 92 and 2000

    There is also an insurance issue here, whereby any claims would certainly be disallowed if it came to light, as the proposal forms ask for a "date test passed" And you might find an insurance company looking for any back payment in the form of the difference between premium based on full, as opposed to provisional licence. Dodgy, in the event of an accident, any enquiries by the boys in blue could open a Pandoras' box. It's fraud after all! Whether or not the license was issued in error, it was accepted and used as such.

    Ask to see the licence; this is a country full of incredible bull****ters, remember.
