Oh sh** driving licence on container

Complete nightmare. Container is currently sat at Southampton docks and we've just realised that our driving licences are in it. We leave at 3.00 pm on Thursday and need to be mobile as soon as we arrive in Sydney on Saturday morning. Can't phone DVLA until 0800 tomorrow. Please tell me that a 7 hour round trip to Swansea can be avoided tomorrow. Any flashes of inspiration? Pleeeeese?????

Just think yourself lucky that you don't live in Scotland

Be careful when you do speak to them because if you mention that you're moving overseas they may not give you a new licence with your existing address on? Sorry I dont have any words of wisdom but if it turns out that you need an address to send it to in Oz let me know - we're an hour outisde Sydney.
