Renewing a driving licence is free as far as i know? unless you have been disqualified then its about 65-70quid

Renewed every 10 years ish

will you have the car fixed by then

i shouldn't worry tbh i didn't think it had to be valid to be towed on an AA van (oh stop please this is killing me :cry)

but yea i think it might be a new picture cos your hair colour might of change (white)
i'm sorry i'm just in one of them moods i need to vent it somewhere i'v just had the ex giving me immense grief

seriosly this time yea i think it's just in the 15 years or whatever they expect you to change alot so it's just to keep them updated

It aint free, I had a letter from the DVLA a few months ago, same as you, photocard licence expires every decade, they bent me over for Ł25, had to get a new mugshot done and send it off to them with my signature, new photocard came in the post.

Apparently a Ł1000 fine if you don't renew it.

as i had 6 expired points they removed them at the same time.

yep, i got an renewal warning letter a couple of months before it expired with the required info and forms to fill.
theres internet talk on here about no warnings and getting charged with no licence if it expires but the letter explained that as false. you can still use your old licence after it expires if you havent received the new one back yet.

well atleast the cosworth don't answer back and bore you too death with what celebs are upto, but it looks like it's about as tempremental as a woman and helps itself to your wallet everymonth, the cossy is just showing it's age i'v heard old people leak too, so don't worry, wheres a fat rich bird when you need one .

i'm going to hate the day i have a problem with my mondeo honestly i don't think i'll come on here cos i'll get shot down royaly but it's good whilst it's lasting

i think there ok as long as it's not something that can't be used as a weapon so fruit and veg like carrots and such like are ok , but then again would you like to be smacked with a pooie vegetable, so in that sense it could still be used as a weapon .

the only implication is it'll have to stay there whilst driving and be on full view to, it'll be great when you show the coppers to prove your identity.

"look look"
*turns round with trousers round ankles and cucumber poking out of arse*
"it is me see look at the picci"
*copper drops license and runs back to the car*
now that would be pay back
