"I have to renew my photo card drivers licence and the DVLA say its only to update the photo. I can do it online if I give them permission to use my passport photo, it'll cost me £20 for the priviledge. The photo on my passport is from the same batch of four as the one on my licence so who's pulling who's leg here? "Thats a fine point and I am seriously writing to my MP about it. I think its scandalous having to pay to renew licences. | |||

Which reminds me - that's a sneaky way to get a free update. Tell the DVLA about moving house and they give you a new license. It'll still have the same expiry date though, sadly. That's how I updated form an old paper one that fell apart. | |||

"I'm stillusing my paper licence that I've had for last 30 odd yrs. I have no plans to update it as it doesn't run out for about another 20yrs. Can't remember what it cost, but the photo card licences have to be updated every 10yrs and they aint going to get cheaper either. "Yes I am the same, still have the paper licence from when I passed in 1988, mind you it looks like it's been through the wash a couple of times!  | |||

Your photo card does stipulate what categories you are licenced for. It also displays when the expiry date is. Much as your counterpart displays any penalties or endorsements (that you may have accumulated) your photo card is equally as important and must be renewed at the appropriate time. If you do not have a valid licence then equally you are not legally insured to drive. " | |||

It`s always a moment of much mirth when we have to produce them at work! The only thing that does spoil having a paper one though is that they are not valid in Europe, apparently. | |||

"friend of mine got fined for not paying road tax even though his bike was broken down and off the road in the garage. When he wrote and explained they said he still had to pay the fine as he was legally obliged to inform them that it was "off the road" and he didn't. "This is a recent change in the law. If it`s off the road for any reason, cancell everything and inform the DVLA straight away! | |||

" It costs £100 now to go on a drivers awareness course, to avoid getting three points on your licence and the £60 fine! It was £65 up until a few weeks back, a classic case of making money! "Apparently they're very busy with the over 50's can you believe? | |||
