I go on holiday 23rd October.
Unfortunately I got caught speeding last night and I've been issued a fixed penalty. The police have taken my Licence and said it would be returned after the fine is paid (£100).
The penalty notice says it could take up to 6 weeks.........ahhhhhhhhhh

Has anyone else experienced this, if so how long did it take for the licence to come back?

What happens if my Licence doesn't come back can I still pick up the car using my paper version and a passport?

I know the paper Licence isn't needed now but can you still use it, surely there are people who still only have paper licences?

Thanks for any help offered.
