Being old FTLLet's see the pic of your current one. I only realised the other when I 'changed my address' to get my points removed for free that you have to pay to change your photo after so long. ________________________________________  |

It will need to be valid and you will need to get it updated to be legal on the road too.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Technically yes, but I actually only realised mine had expired when the admin staff at Rockingham pointed it out with I signed in. As it had only expired and wasn't like I was banned they let me on anyway, luckily enough. Clearly it needs to be renewed, but the trackday people might let you on anyway. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Good point, they may not even notice that part to be fair... ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

They can f**k you for this if they really wanted to, the police I mean, technically you aren't driving with a valid license which could then be seen to void the insurance.I would hope they would let that go but think they could bring your world down on top of you if they really wanted to... |
