It means that you can build a really BIG car and drive it for another 14 years.

I'm a bit surprised about that I thought that all civil servants had only 10 fingers. About the weight limit tho’ did you have a class 2 some time in the past?

Photo driving licences last 10 years...... did yours still have 4 years to run?

My son has just been caught (jumping a red light - oops!) and when he produced his licence, it turned out it was 2 years out of date. Apparently, there have been 100,000 cases where people's licence have expired - but no prosecutions as yet....

Damn right I only knew I had to update my picture next year because I asked them if I could do it while I put my hgv provisional on. Mind you my picture was taken when I was 21... So I really don't look much like that guy (one employer even queried it, I had a beard and about 6 less stone of gut)

And the best bit is you get to pay DVLA £20 for the privilege....

Are you looking at the licence expirey or the card expirey? My card is valid till 2019 but the license expires on my 70th, in 2069


theconrodkid - 17/9/11 at 07:14 AM

ah yes,you are right about the expiry date

Are you all remembering to don your colander headgear for your photos?
