Some advice please..............while driving around here I carry xerox copies of car registration, drivers licence and passport in case I am pulled up at a check point, but recently my partner was talking to her cousin who is a policewoman and was advised I should carry my original licence either local or Australian which ever I am driving on. From other souces I have been told just to carry a xerox copy.........and if carry original dont hand it over as might not get it back..........all suggestions welcom
