I thought one has 48hours to produce the DL??

36.
(1) Any person driving a motor vehicle on a road shall carry his driving licence or provisional licence, and on being so required by a police officer, produce it for examination. (
2) For the purposes of this section, “driving licence or provisional licence” includes such other evidence as will satisfy the police that there is no contravention of section 30.(
3) Any person who contravenes or fails to comply with this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred shillings.

No sir. If there ever was such a provision, it has been annihilated. The section reads thus


Lucky for us the fine is 100/-,...but then again it is not clear whether the offence cascades to Section 30, cause of not being able to produce a licence, it can be argued you are not qualified to drive at all. The fines in that section are tougher. Its all very murky. I guess we'll see how it plays out

the trick is have someone deliver the dl, before your case is mentioned, but you still have to convince the magistrate that the circumstances that led to you not having your dl were unavoidable - but that's the easier part.
