You don't have to hand it to them it's just the information on it they can look at, you paid for that bit of paper or plastic and it belongs to you so just make them read it and not touch it.

I still only have my original paper licence from the 80s including endorsements and disqualifications lol when ever I get stopped and asked for my licence I tell them it’s all on the screen in there car same as everything else about me they were reading prior to putting the lights on seems to satisfy 

The pre 2000 paper licence is still legal .

It's just the newer paper part that came with the photo cards that have been abolished.

I once spent 3 weeks on remand in HMP Woodhill for driving offences and one of my charges was failing to change my address on my driving licence( i had a provisional when i was a teenager many years before), the fact i didn't even have a currant driving licence made it a slightly amusing charge to give me....

Went down a DVLA online wormhole a few years ago. Still had paper, and the address was from many years ago. Changing address was easy, but needed data that only modern driving licenses have. So was not possible.

So used the online portal to get a modern face recognition license. Easy enough until address input. Long story short... I could get a new license with the old wrong address but could not update my home address until I had the new license. 

Got sorted easily enough after about an hour and a half of testing their reserve and a human being eventually answered to phone.

There is my driving at at steady 65 mph doing nothing wrong and I get pulled.the reason for the stop was I do not look like your typical person with my name wtf  .

Maybe because (I presume from your user name) you have firearms.

I had a crash a few years ago and when police turned up the first thing they asked was if there were any firearms in the vehicle, they'd obviously checked the reg and it must flag up licence holders.linked to the reg.

Could have something to do with it but was not asked anything about that .did not get asked if I had been drinking either which is normally the first thing I have been asked.

My first motor was an astra van and I was driving everywhere at all times of day and night from graveyards to golf courses in pursuit of coney, but only got pulled when back in Gwent and they had a national rep for handing out producers , to the point I went in with a previous years insurance as mine had just passed and they were so used to it they scanned and returned nothing noticed. Also used to sleep in the back I remember my folks getting a call as my vehicle was reported to be involved in an armed robbery, had some fun in the old astra van.
