« on: 18 May 2015, 07:21:59 »
Mince expires in July. Can I renew it now or do I have to wait until it expires or close to expiring?

Thanks

Before sending your license take a photo copy has there have been horror stories of driving groups being removed...not sure if true or not but best to be safe than sorry :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Driving groups can indeed disappear.My motorcycle entitlement went awol-unnoticed by me until way too late to re-instate it-at some point during my many address changes.So yes if sending it off always take photocopies of both sides.

If i renew it now, will the expiry date change to May on the new licence, losing the two months? is that what you're getting at Phillip, old boy?
