    As its just a renewal there should be no problem, I normally advise copying all documents before applying and keeping with you

    Well as its a provisional licence and is expired would this not give the guards 2 reasons to penalise you if at a checkpoint? I dont think driving alone with no current provisional licence would cut it with just the paperwork

    Don't see anywhere in the post a mention of the permit being out of date or the driver being alone
    Only answering the question asked
    An application for renewal can be made 3 months in advance of expiry
    Secondly are you suggesting everyone with full or learner permits cannot drive while licence is being renewed

    "applied for driving test online today and applied for renewal of licence two weeks ago"

    Surely the OP needs a driving test so is on a provisional/learning permit, No?

    And secondly, yes I would be suggesting that,however I understand the guards can be quite lenient while waiting on renewals, as I was in teh same sit myself before while renewing. My thought was it would be tougher with an expired provisional/learner permit..but again that depends on the very very slim chance of the OP being stopped.

    Anyway OP is sorted thats the man thing
