Hi to all with a UK photo card type driving licence. WARNING. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please be aware and check your photo card piece of your licence as it only has a valid time of 10 years,
yet your paper section will state that you are registered up to your 70th birthday.
After the 10 years you have to renew your licence at a cost of £17.50
If you look at your photo card with the side of your photo and look at 4a. This is the date of issue, then 4b, is date of expire.
If you were one of the first people to have this type of licence issued to you in 1998, then been warned as it is soon to expire and there could be a fine of £1000
if not renewed after 2years.
note, dates will be different if you hold a HGV licence and are over 45, due to 5 year medical check ups.
I have checked my own licence and found out it runs out next year. yet another D.V.L.A. RIPP OFF. Please check your licence to see if you are due to renew.
Drive safely, Gary.
