Legally a driver can only drive for 15 days while waiting for a driver card, the driver could phone DVLA or the DVSA and see if they will OK him to carry on driving and give him a reference number to quote if he gets stopped, if not it’s legally a no no I’m afraid.

The card being in the post isn’t much use as he needs to have it in the tachograph, well unless he’s driving a vehicle with an analogue tachograph that is.

thanks for the reply tachograph :slight_smile:
