Drivers Licence expired....

mine expires next month

Did you get a temp license? If not, keep your receipt, in case you get stopped by the popo after the card expires. Strictly speaking they should give you a ticket, but if you show them the receipt they might let you off.

Yes, the photos are for temp license, so they do tend to accept it.

i didnt get/want a temp one

Why would you want to brave hell just for the chance it may be ready. If they say 6 weeks, my experience says double that. My wife went after 10 weeks and it wasn't ready. Why oh why can't they sms or email you to say it's ready?

i think its called optimism

Just want to clear one remark here that you must do so for insurance purposes. Not so. AA won a court case on this. Even if you only have an old license in your ID book, insurance must pay because:
