Default info on how to renew a uk driving licence

My uk photocard driving licence is out of date soon and i need to renew it, whats the procedure to getting this renewed ? I still have my uk address etc, do i have to send my old one to the dvla or just request a new one and send a new photo. Is there a form i can get to do this.
Any help would be great.

if you've got a new passport you can do it online as everythings already in the system

otherwise you've got to send a new pic in to make sure you've not grown a third nose of turnips on your eyes or something

If you've got motorcycle entitlement on your licence, make sure you take a photocopy of it before you send it off as the DVLA have a nasty habit of deleting entitlements

Don't bother.
Anything licenseable must be intrinsically lawful.
And yes, you have a Right to Travel, defined in the Magna Carta i.e. common law.
Driving is a legal/contractual priviledge under statute.
Therefore, you are not driving, you are travelling, which does not require a license and is a lawful activity.

(Disclaimer - you will probably be arrested anyway and steamrollered by a magistrates court who ignore the basic points of law for the purpose of extorting money)
