So the paper part of the licence is going the way of the tax disc

Long live the trees I say!

 

I could never see that going from a piece of paper to a plastic card AND a piece of paper was progress.
I think I'll keep hold of mine for a while though.

 

Isn't all this so that they can get you to pay to get it renewed every 10 years or so?

 

Yup every 10 years you got to renew it now

 

Yep I had to do mine only a few months ago and they wanted an updated photo

 

Wait until you try to hire a car abroad, you have to get a code from the DVLA but it only lasts 72 hours. Still it's not like any government dept has ever had IT issues

 

Should make the plastic card like a debit card so it can be swiped by whomever needs info as credit/debit cards are used worldwide...we are turning into a third world country going backwards. Also everything on one card would be cheaper so combine it with the passport which I am about to renew at a cumly cost of £87. Think I will go over on a wooden Raft without one as it looks like you get a nice ride in a navy ship and free food .

 

WIIIIIIILLLLLSON

 

"I'd like this lost be - sorry - sent by FedEx please"

 

On a side note I would have laft my arse of if in that package he would not open had been a satelite phone or an exspensive Breitling watch with a GPS becon ...Energy bars or a Gun

 

Still think it was a good film tho' but..............................
