Would they notice if you showed them a fake with your correct details, driver number etc? It's not like you don't have a license and if you were asked to produce it by the police you can honestly say it's in Swansea

The consequences if I'm caught would mean a lifetime ban!

Can't you lean on a councillor to get them to verify via Swansea online you have the required license

Would an overseas license do it? Could you nip abroad and take a test somewhere that prints licenses quickly?

Nope. The regs were written back in 1974 and haven't been updated.

Written off. They've valued it at £1250 with a £125 scrap value.

Higher value than I imagined, old festers are still £250 in my head.
