Off Topic Drivers unaware of licence changes !

MOST DRIVERS in the UK are unaware the paper part of the driving licence is being scrapped this month. It could leave millions of motorists inconvenienced when trying to hire a car or use their licence as proof of identity.
Car hire firms will no longer require just a driving licence when renting a car in the UK from 8 June. This is because the photo driving licence will not be considered sufficient proof of identity on its own.
Drivers will be able to access the Share Driving Licence scheme, which allows them to print off details required by a car hire firm.
However, no paper counterparts will be issued by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). Any penalty points on a driver’s licence will now be stored electronically and not displayed on the driving licence.
When a driver commits a speeding offence, they will now surrender their photo licence to have the points added but no paper counterpart will be issued.
Sarah Sillars, the Institute of Advanced Drivers’ Chief Executive Officer, said: ‘People are not aware of how many of the current procedures are changing. Similar to the abolition of the tax disc, they assume much of what has happened before will continue.
‘The onus is very much on the individual to obtain the information they need beforehand. So we very much hope people will not be caught unawares, especially if they don’t want a nasty surprise when arriving to collect their car at the start of their holiday.’

 

I have no idea where the paper bit is so this suits me fine.

 

Is that a picture of you on the license. Dribs?

 

Certainly not my picture King Solomon. What about all your concubines ? 300 of them I believe?

 

And the ****ing rest

 

Never knew I can check my driving licence on line. Just did, and no endorsement.

 

Where was it issued?

















Ghana?

 

I know exactly where mine is since I only got it back from the DVLA putting points on it about two months ago

 

Don't be silly, he's got a French license

 

Naughty boy!

 

There had been a change in speed limit on the road but I couldn't really argue it since was only about 400 yards from my house

 

#speedkills #slowdown #batard

 

I was slowing down

 

You silly man, maybe I passed my driving text before you are 10.I took the text 1980 at East Ham
East London. Who is going to issue this licence then?.

 

Move over Neil Papworth you were 12 years too late lid

 

I can work it out you are 22 in 1980?

 

No mate.

He sent the world first text message at the age of 22. That was why I thought you were 22 in 1980.

 

Only ever lost the photo card part of my license, cost me 20 odd quid to replace that

Still got the tax disc stuck to the inside of my car windshield, every time I look at it I think 'need to get that ****er off there' but it's still there, redundant

 

Of course you did mate
