Taco Cards

So Friday will be the 3 week mark I’ve been waiting for my new one to turn up - DVLA say it was sent out on the 14th, but could be until Friday before its ‘late’ and they send out another one…

Was it sent via magical elfs on snail back? As I’m pretty sure even 2nd class post would be here if it was sent in the 14th lol

How long did everyone wait for theirs?

After 20 days mine still hadn’t turned up, they sent out another which arrived in 4 days plus a letter for me to sign declaring I hadn’t received it

does this mean you cannot drive until it arrives?

Apparently your allowed a maximum of 15 days without a card, doing a print out each day - provided you put your forms in/paid on time correctly. So fingers crossed it gets here soon!

Thats 15 calendar days though and not 15 working days

When is the 15 days up ?

When does your current digicard expire?

Not until the end of the month- so I’m good until the 15/12/13. Should be sorted by then! Just wondering if ‘slow’ was normal, as when I moved, my new photo card was returned in 3 days

Are they valid in Mexico ?

I am not so sure about that because the regs say that having or losing a valid digicard gives the driver 15 days but does not include a period when not having a valid card

If DVLA say you have a valid card buts its lost then that would fit the criteria for the 15 day rule because there is no rule about who lost it

that’s how I see the regs on this but others may say different because I am no legal expert

mine was late due to supplier / printer problems … 2 days before the 15 I again chased them and requested an email or cover letter to this effect to allow me to drive which they did…

card arrived on the day I was due back on shift.

it don’t hurt to ask was my old mans motto

I’d stick with the burrito from now on then. :slight_smile:
