It was a sad day when i had to hand in my old paper licence and get the new photocard licence.
The only positive outcome from it was i get to look at my photo.
I love me.
Why did you have to hand it in? There's still no imperative to do so, they are perfectly legal.The only positive outcome from it was i get to look at my photo.
I love me.
I got 3 points last year, sent it off, they scribbled them on and sent it back.

For some reason i thought they were going to scrap the paper licence and make it compulsory to have the photo one , thinking about it now im not entirely sure why i thought that. I got 3 points last year, sent it off, they scribbled them on and sent it back.
Rather than take any chances i just got the photo licence, but wish i hand not bothered now. My old paper licence had not seen the light of day for over 20 years and was immaculate.

As yet, no S.I. for its commencement has been passed. Can't see it happening any time soon. Parliament has more pressing issues to deal with.

I've had my paper one for 29 years - I see no reason to change it unless I move houseThe only positive outcome from it was i get to look at my photo.
I love me.
I will get a photocard one when I am 70 - that way it doesn't cost me anything to renew it every 3 years
Made me laugh today I had to withdraw some money from a passbook savings account
cashier asked me for ID
I gave her my DL
she was happy
how is that ID? I asked
she replied "rules just say I have to ask for ID - DL is one of the acceptable forms of ID - even if it's a paper one in 8 bits with no photo"

I sympathise OP, I still have my paper licence and like yours is sellotaped together and looks rather sorry for itself but I do take it everywhere with me.
Will lose it in 3 years or so time
I still have my first little red book licence issued in 1970, found it tucked away in a drawer a couple of years ago.
