Driving licenc.e.

Next year the paper part of a driving licence is being scrapped and all new issues will just get the card with your photo on. I have also read that a large amount of peeps are driving around with these that are actually invalid because they only last for 10 years and the busy busy souls have failed to renew. Personally because I have not moved house for 25 years I still have a pre 1998 licence without a photo on which is still perfectly valid, at least until I'm 70 anyway. Now I have never had a problem renting a car from Auto Reisen with said old style licence but how much longer will this be okay? And indeed if you produce a photo licence over 10 years old at the office do you still get a car? Just wondering like.... Mind you with a 98c profit margin I think they may not notice.    Think the cops will though, €400 fine Sir, enjoy your holiday.
I did google it but didnt get very far, a potential minefield I fear. 

The new system about RFL road tax is a complete nonsense,
So you have a silver Mondeo and you see one in another part of the country and you happen to copy the number plates you can ride round with bugger all, Dibble and his NPR camera will check the number and if that other car is in order so are you,  I believe its a £25 fine for having a wrong number plate and no points, but if you do get pulled and you dont have an MOT and insurance you can always speak urdu or even russian,
you could start sucking a dummy and go for non composs mentos,
Farce Farce Farce

 FFS Reg dont tell them that! My minibus (which to be fair I only use to tow well over weight boats) has the same number plate as my car. Mind you they are both blue. 

And I dont even have to remember to put the swap tax disc in the windscreen now.    Its progress if you like.....

Nah, never pursued it, mainly because it wasnt worth a toss, (MUF 766) I stuck 100 UXP on it,

Hmmm, MUF is more interesting. No sign of Mods so we can go off topic, Lidl is knocking out Pukka steak and kidney pies for 99p, a whole penny cheaper than Tesco and ASDA. Just tucking in to one now, taste very nice but 69p would be nicer.........

I hired a car in uk they askfor my paper part which I didnt have, This was a sunday night got told not until monday as had to ring dvla, 100 quid more.  went next door no issye

Been ripped off in Tenerife mate, or they tried too. Went outside and caught the bus. Used them pretty much ever since.
