Re: UK driving license expired
Re using a UK address to renew a UK DL. I hope those that have...do not use their UK DL to rent or drive a friend’s/relative’s car. As well as defrauding a government document...you are driving on an illegal DL and if you are involved in a RTA the auto insurance is probably not valid.
If you move back to the UK it is a very simple process to apply for a current DL. |
Re: UK driving license expired
i wish they had the paper one back that does not get renewed, should have kept it
My license competency expires at 70 not every 10 years. You have a valid license why would the validity be questioned? |

I still have my Norwegian driving license that is valid until I am 100 years old with my photo as I was at 28 years old. But they use facial node recognition technology which regardless how old you are remain the same and they carry the reading units in their cars

Re: UK driving license expired
Note that strictly speaking the law says that if you stop living in the UK you should surrender your driving licence. Not enforced in practice, but should you be unlucky enough to have a major accident and have someone start digging around, I would not like to be the test case subject!

On the back of that offensive piece of plastic are the vehicles you are rated to drive and the date that rating expires. unless things have changed it used to be age 70. the plastic is all about a photo update each 10 years. Next time I return to the Uk for a holiday I will renew, it takes little time and I will be resident at that time it is renewed.My competency to drive will not be tested again. As for your comment ''Because 70 year old mikemike does not look like 17 year old mikemike'' 100% not relevant |

Re: UK driving license expired
Hmmm, is it compulsory to have a photocard license? Mine has expired but I still have the paper one.
