Default Photo Driving License - Check your expiry date!

The first batch of photo driving licenses had a very short expiry date.

A few people have been caught out & fined £1000 as theirs has expired.

The date is in small print to the right of the "4b"

They all have a 10 year expiry. The photo just needs renewing. Everyone should be recieving renewal updates by now. The original ones were running out 6 months ago with no renewal notice but its been sorted now. Nothing to worry about

Although it is another £17.50

Also before you send it off take a photocopy of the back. There is every chance your new one wont have the same classes on.
I actually know someone that lost there D1 and still cannot get it put back on without taking a test!!

I've got plenty of time, next September.

Doubt I'll get a reminder though, I moved 3 years ago.

Driving licence is for life, not just till your 70, anything less is a rip off
