Man I had no idea until I read this thread that the UK had become such a police state after I left. Sheesh, they can now seize your car for not renewing your freaking license? WHAT???? Are you kidding me?

Go it back today, the bloke in the police station was nice.
Everyone apart from one in the reception today and yesterday (about 15 in total) was there for seized cars. Does this give you the idea of how pandemic seizing/Operation Tango is at the moment?
The compound now charges 20 quid a day, but they now charge over the weekend (even though it's shut), except in some cases where it gets seized on a Friday or Saturday (where you don't have a chance to collect).
Check your license or insurance is valid everyone! It's such a pain in the ass getting it back.

someone i know got his brother to take him up to RNW for his car,
They checked paper work and released his car, when he got home the police were sitting outside his house,

police checked details, came back OK

RNW had informed the police that they just released a car to a Mr xxxx and watched another person drive the car out of there car park

No, the police bloke I was speaking to today said he still had his paper one. But if you renew it, obviously the paper bit becomes the 'counterpart' to the plastic card.

The paper licence you originally had has to be surrendered to DVLA when you get a new photo one, and they issue you with a new paper counterpart as well.
If you look at your licence you will see it has an issue number on it, this should match the issue number (usually 01-99) of the paper counterpart. This is to stop people having several "copies" of the paper part to produce and have points written on, or keeping a "clean" one to produce for car hire or insurance.

I couldn't even drive mine out of the road as there was no petrol in it.
