Paper licence before 1998 - safe to destroy?

[Durzel]

Quick dumb question...

I've got an old paper licence issued in 1995, it pretty much looks like a prop from Raiders of the Lost Ark, even the sellotape that's been holding it together for the last decade or more looks old.

I'm aware that licences issued before 1998 are still valid, but the address on mine is out of date by three years. I have a photocard licence with my correct address on.

So - given I won't get issued a new one anyway, and the address is wrong so presumably is useless anyway - is it safe to destroy?

Yes.

Straight to the point, thanks

I've kept all my old ones - though It sounds as if they are rather less knackered.

If it is your last paper licence it could be useful in the future if the computer ' accidentally' clips off some of the rights currently have.

Could never happen of course as computers are infallible.

Yeah, I wasn't actually going to destroy it since it's a bit of a memento of when I passed my test (the photocard doesn't include this, strangely, the valid from date is from when it was issued), plus I figure if I keep it long enough it might lead me to some buried treasure.
