Popular Post invex Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 Today got pulled over on Hua Haew Road. I saw no reason to escape, which I could, as I felt 100 % correct. However, golddiggers did not accepted my pictues of my front and back Thai drivers license. I have read some time ago, the bigg boss stated that a picture would be sufficient. Your opinion pls as it costed me a good dinner for two. Thanks. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wgdanson Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 Get the DLT QR Licence app on Play Store and register. Then you have your DL on your phone 'legally'. 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post emptypockets Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 Why didn't you simply show him your license? Easily fits in a wallet, glovebox or even wedged above the drop down sun visor gizmo. 27 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dante99 Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 You broke the law so you pay the price. Unless of course you were invited to come to Thailand by some very high up person who can resolve it for you, if you would bother them with it. This is not elementary school. The Golddiggers vs The Whinner, tune in next week for a new episode. 7 4 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sherwood Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 Good to know, thanks. You did have prior warning though. Another fella on here still thinks it is legal to ride after three months in Thailand on an IDP. Live and learn. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matzzon Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 No it´s not legal. Only if you use the downloadble app it´s legal. That also stood in the same place you read about showing a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai Posted September 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 My car DL always stays in car. My motorbike DL in my wallet for I'd and when ever I jump on my motorbike or wife's scooter I covered. Wallet seems easy option. Never been asked to show either in 7 years. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only DLT approved electronic copies are valid, which means the DLT app, not just a picture. You couldn't produce a valid driving license, so you were fined for driving without a driving license.

Popular Post invex Posted September 5, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2019 Normally I carry my DL with me but this time my wife took it out of my wallet to check the expiring date. OK, probably I was wrong and not read the article through. Officer writing my name on his doc told me to show the picture again so he could read/write my name. Apparently for the fine, the picture of the DL was good enough. 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Muton Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 OP are you sure you've not confused the advice about keeping a copy of your passport with you with driving licences? I don't recall reading about copies of DL's before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a picture of the DLp app? beacsue that means I then have to carry a phone with me also, my problem is I have 6 vehicles i could be ON/IN at any time and I have to remember to carry my licence every time, what would be good would be to have a copy just stuck in every vehicle, I don't actually own a phone and don't want one.
