SA drivers' licences to be added to smartphones

Digital South Australian drivers' licences will be available on a State Government smartphone app by the end of the year, InDaily can reveal.

 

Read the story here. Handy for those who forget their DL when heading out but always take their phone

That's a really great idea. I often forget to take my purse but generally have my phone with me. That could save some money and points on licences for many people like me!

Cool!

It's not actually a legal requirement to carry your driving licence with you though, just strongly encouraged (unless you are driving on an overseas licence when you are supposed to have both it and your passport).

I had a phone case with slots in it so I had both with me until about 2 weeks ago - I dropped the phone and it landed on the corner; the only bit unprotected! So my husband decided I needed a tougher case which is less fiddly but doesn't have the handy slots; now I won't need them

*I'd had an old style Nokia for over 7 years which barely had a scratch on it but had to switch to a smartphone for doing Family Day Care (and because they're turning off the signal in July) and smashed the screen within months...

I think this a great idea!! Nice to see SA finally embracing technology!
