ive always had to show my license when signing on

well if you have to surrender your license say you lost the card and just give them the paperwork!

Only place I've been so far that hasn't actually asked to see your licence is Castle Combe.

The danger is that even if you don't get your license checked and something goes awry and someone gets hurt the third party insurance on the track might not cover you.

It's an unlikely situation.  If you're banned, you're banned.  Rather than trying to sneak a track day in during a ban.

H'mmmm, you might like to check the road traffic act too - it's not just roads that are covered.....

What's the ban for?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
