Title: Gave copy of drivers license concern
Post by: TwoGapper on 13 April 2014, 19:20

Hi chaps recently scrapped a car.

I'm usually a good judge of character and the chap from the reputable scrap merchant came across as sincere and I didn't think much of it when he asked if I had my drivers license for ID. I let him take a photograph of it with the completed V5.

In retrospect, I feel a bit uneasy having a photo of my DL somewhere out of my control.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the matter.

I think they are required to get identification nowadays due to the amount of stolen scrap metal in circulation.

It would be more of a concern if he didn't take any I.D. from you.  :smiley:

This and nothing is done cash any more.
