Also if you fail to renew your photo licence when due it is £1000 fine.
Sound advice by other posters but I would still take a photo copy as well. I know of one guy when he got his licence back the Bike section was not on the new licence. When he contacted them, there reply was , well you will have to resit your test again. heaven forbid if it was to happen to me , there is no way I would pass a test again, to many bad habits now.
