However, golddiggers did not accepted my pictues of my front and back Thai drivers license. Try that in a Western country - see how far a picture of your DL gets you ... 555 Don't have to show in the UK for a period of 7 days which is more sensible, when ever you carry "real" documents with you there is the risk of losing them. WE have to show at a Police station of our choosing its called a "producer" way more convenient less chance of bribes not that that really happens in the UK for such trivial matters.

Yes and no, depends on who you dealing with . But if copy of passport, must also have the visa page and stamp showing legal status . when I was caught up in a raid on walking street about 3 years ago, they did not accept paper copies but did accept photo in phone. In my case I did not have pic of visa, only the front page, and was detained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why this is not generally accepted. I did read that the Police cannot now take your licence, if you have one! The App seems to work OK, you scan the QR code on the back and up it comes on your phone. Two problems.....you do not own a phone, or you do not have internet access. Better to carry that small bit of plastic i your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was overseas, my wife was doing the school run, got pulled over and couldn't produce her DL which was in her purse back home. She was quite p'ssed off about it so she made a point of putting her DL in the junk box between the front seats of the pickup which TBH she hardly uses. Rest assured, she never gets stopped again until about 6 months later, she gets stopped again and in her fluster, she went and paid the fine thinking her DL was at home in her purse. When she came home and regaled me about her latest run-in, I told her to sit down and relax and made her a cup of tea before I reminded her that her DL was still in the truck. Then she slapped herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new laws passed maybe earlier this week states that with the steady roll-out of automated systems including speed and red-light cameras and tickets in the mail, there's no legal reason for the police to keep your driving license any more.

Isaanbiker Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Whenever I drive a longer distance, I always carry my permit. Plenty of other countries would fine you for not having your license with you, so i don't see anything the cops did wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Don't know what you understand as a " a good dinner for two" but you could have taken a ticket, present the original at the police station and being fined B 400 for not having the valid license on you. There is no need to deal with this highway robbery attacks; stay cool and ask for the white slip. You have to see the police station but the crook will go empty-handed (as far as fining you is concerned), the money goes there where it belongs and is usually cheaper than the wild tariffing of those highwaymen ????

However... When in LOS I have my Thai Motorcycle licence in a waterproof bag with copy of Passport sat with toolkit under bikes seat, love OP's remark later on in thread that its also his Mrs fault for checking his date on licence 555 You had no licence take some responsibility already?

Russell17au Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I never carry my licence in my wallet. I have a separate case for carrying my Thai Licences, my Aust drivers licence, my Aust boat drivers licence, all separated from my wallet, that way when I get stopped and they want my licence I do not have to open my wallet for them to see any money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
