Default Photocard driving licences

Heads up people of the org. Its almost ten years since the photocard driving licence was realseased to the public, and if you didnt know, you have to renew every 10 years at a cost of £17.50. So check you expiry date and get it sorted, you dont want to fall foul of the old bill! (Something else for them to check and knick ya for)

In the ideal world you should get a reminder from the DVLA but you know how efficent they are!

Edit**Its section 4b on the licence**

Yes this is the tactic for taking bikes off of the road. They'll forget to give us our bike entitlement. Make sure you have pictures and photo copies so if they do you can give them a good kick in!

Note: First thing on a Monday morning at Oxford Circus after commuting into London on the train/tube is *NOT* a good time to get your photo done.
