Paper Driving Licences ???
« on: 01 September 2010, 01:35:15 »
Am I the only driver in the UK that still has an ordinary paper licence? everyone seems to have the new style photo card  licences with paper part. Even old people that have been driving before I was born have plastic fantastic licences? Why pay good money for a plastic card when you can keep your real one... anyone else got a real one ::)
