New licences

Feb 21, 2009 7 Replies

I must be amongst the first people to have to have my driving licence replaced because it was too old.



The new card bit is totally different to the old one. It only has 1 picture of my mug on it for a start. Plus, its got a little embossed steering wheel and a high tech hologram.



It also has a load of other people's names at the top, including "Prawo Jazdy".

My licence was issued in 1976 do I win?

Oh no you're not! Don't forget the photocard licence needs renewing.

Not being rude, but did you actually read a word of what the OP posted before coming up with this oh so lucid thought?

Given his posting history, what do you think?

I'm not really that aware of any history for this one, or have they recently changed their posting handle?

Not sure you're old enough to have gone down the post office and bought one without sitting a test like my Grandad did.

I was meaning photocard licences, I got mine just after they had been invented. The photo bit expires every 10 years and you have to pay a £17.50 tax to replace it.

DVLA write to you about a month in advance.
