I was driving on the M4 to Reading yesterday. About 13X were on my speedo when my old back pack opened itself and all my belongings flew around. I was able to recover a broken mobile and some other parts but my driving license etc. are still missing. Great day, so I am going to buy a new “back pack” now….
Sorry for you Devil. I'd hate to get a new licence, I'd have to have my picture taken. I hate that. I drove over my favourite rucksack and broke a buckle. Now one strap is tied in a knot and it's come undone twice, thankfully both times while I was walking.
Oh dear? I would be gutted because I'm still on the origanal old paper licence and I would never get that back?
It will still be not far from the phone the reason i say this is that i was behind a mate on the motorway and papers and wallet inc the driving licence and credit cards started coming out of his pocket (all a bit slow mo) so next thing i over took him come off at the roundabout and back to the point i remembered and as we stopped and looked up the shoulder and into the grass they had all collected within 30 mts .Hope this may help .
Bugger mate....... Just make sure you check your driving license has got the correct entitlements when you get it back!! Jay
bummer, hope you get it sorted without any hassle. +1 on what Pinkster says about checking you've got the right gubbins on it when you get it back. xx
Thanks guys ! Got my new licence and counterpart today. I was thinking to go back and search the motorway again but I think it's to dangerous. I had to cross the motorway to recover my stuff last time and it wasn't a comfortable feeling to be faster by foot than the cars on the motorway. Also "Pinkster" is right, when I changed my address they send me a new licence and most of my entitlements were missing.
I've still got one of those, i use it when travelling abroad (i still take both), i've been told that if you produce a paper licence you can not get points for speeding? Just a fine. Its worked so far.
I use this bag. Big enough to put stuff in for a weekend away and if your out and about it has a compartment to store your lid so you dont have to carry it. Never had a problem with bits flying out as it has a buckle that dose up over the zip. Also has a waist strap and a chest strap so it stops it flying abou in the wind at 3 figure speeds. Had mine for well over 4 years and it still looks like new, Use it every day to carry my lunch and shit to work. Cost me over £130 though. joe rocket backpack | eBay
I never go faster than the speed limit, ever! Thats why I drive a 3 ltr BMW 3M and ride the very slow Blade.
