Title: Don't forget to check your driving licence
Post by: Karl on 10, March, 2010 - 09:00:24

I've just been robbed of £20 by the DVLA  :o

...photocard driving licence expires next month so had to renew it.

You do get a reminder through the post and a carefully worded invite to hand over the cash.

At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask  >:(

i know of this little 'ruse', but when i past my test - dick turpin was riding shotgun ;)

at the time i past i'm sure it lasted until you were 65, and i did not get a reminder to renew, niether have 2 of my sons.

fortunately it was mentioned by Dom on the BBC's one show and we happen see it.

btw, you also have to renew @ 70, but at least its free yip **** hee! and you can do so on-line (if your eyesights ood enough  ::) ).
