Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML
Today, I was pulled over by the cops for a random breathalyzer test. They asked to see my license. I always keep my wallet in my car for situations like this. I received a $100 ticket because my mum apparently didn’t think it was a good idea to keep my wallet in the car. FML
Today, after finally getting my drivers license, I was able to drive myself to school for the first time! I got fined $50 for accidentally parking in the wrong lot. FML
Today, I got pulled over for going a few miles per hour over the speed limit. The cop asked for my license and registration. I happened to look down at my wallet while he was processing everything and saw my license in my wallet. I gave the cop my fake I.D. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Today, I finally went to the DMV to replace my lost license. After waiting for almost two hours, I casually rummaged through my purse. Something strange inside the lining caught my eye. It was my license. FML
Today, I had to drive 300 miles to a town where I thought I'd forgotten my purse the night before. When I got to the hotel I had been staying at, I found out it was actually in the trunk of my car. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. When the police officer approached me and asked for license and registration, I accidentally gave him my fake I.D. FML

If you go to court and prove you have it, it may be dismissed.

bring it to court, they should drop it as long as it was valid when the tickets was issued.

Do they just run random checks or did you do something for them to pull you over for in the first place? I often drive without my purse, which has my license in it.

Always put your wallet in the slot thingy near the radio.

In NSW drivers can be fined for not carrying your licence while driving. Proving that you are a licensed driver after the event wont help here.

#30 Nope, you have to always have your licence on you when you're driving. Yes they can look your licence number up, which is what the officer probably did to prove that he has a valid licence, but the officer will still give you a fine. Only time you'd get away with a fine is if the officer isn't bothered to give you one.

Wow that's ridiculous. That's happened to me before but I've never been fined. That's truly shitty :(

By law you shouldn't had been fined in NSW you have 24 hours to take your licence into your nearest police station. As long as you licence can be looked up on the system and it's not suspended you by law have 24 hours to present it to a local station.

In NSW driving without a license will earn you an on-the-spot fine. You can present your license to a police station but it will not stop the police from issuing the fine when the incident has occurred.

I've had this happen recently was pulled over for RBT and they said that as long as I presented my valid drivers licence within 24 hours to my nears police station that I wouldn't be fined

I'd look into it further. I know this is state based, but on the other side of the country (WA), we don't have to actually have our licence on us. We just need to have a valid licence. Hope that's still the case, it was when I lost my purse with my licence in it a few years back. Look into it and appeal if it's the same over there.

I keep my license with my insurance and registration that way I don't have to worry about losing it

I had nearly the same thing happen, except that my then GF's 5 yr old son had removed it from my wallet (because he wanted a pic of me) & had dropped it between the seat & e-brake...long story short..the judge didn't care & I still had to pay a fine..fml
