    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.

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    I never go faster than the speed limit, ever! Thats why I drive a 3 ltr BMW 3M and ride the very slow Blade.

    I bet that's sticky through the bends.
