Hi all, just a word of warning here, if you have a photo card driving licence, check the renewal date on it, the date is above the smallest photo...4a to 4b.
DVLA do not inform you when it is about to run out, there is a £1,000 fine if you are caught with an expired photo card.
They didn't tell us all about this fine when they introduced these cards, still, i suppose it funds more speed cams.
Our Ontario government know better than to not tell us, if they did that over here no one would renew the driving licenses, and if they fined us, some one would take it up with the human rights board and it would get bogged down in bureaucratic nonsense.
They take the easy way out, they send us a letter in the mail.

That's because in Ontario, the exorbitant $75 they charge for license renewals is a nice source of revenue for them! Not to mention another $74 for plate renewal fees...

Thats the thing about fines here, all of a sudden its big money fines for everything. Look at the new £100 fine for leaving your rubbish bin out on the wrong day. What happened to the reasonable 15 and 20 quid fines for these minor matters? Since the government let local councils decide on fines in their boroughs the whole thing has gotten out of hand.
thats funny mark, i was notified by swansea 6 weeks weeks before it was due to run out, your photo license has to be renewed and updated with a new photo every ten years,and license renewed when you are 70, you get caught without updating the photo, its an hefty fine and points on your license for driving "otherwise in accordance with your license"

Here in Wisconsin that plate for a motorcycle are $23 for two years, it just went up from $15 for 2 years. They make up for it with the traffic tickets, the smallest ticket is $156 for 3 mph over.
I suppose thats why I never went for a photo id driving licence coming from yorkshire as i do
its like id cards only the legals will have them
what really gets me in my job is the ones who have english as a second language and the only reason they want to do a tax return is to get money back from the govt
Well I have a cdl ( commercial drivers license) and it cost me 150 every time I renew it and then with all of the other fees for back ground checks and twic cards I am going to have to get another job just to pay for those:dude:
I used to have a CDL and then when I moved to Arizona back in '92, the higher costs of keeping it caused me to take a long hard look at maintaining "just because".
Now, in retrospect, I wish I had kept it, but the costs of doing so would have been a huge drain on my wallet. When you are broke and looking for a job, you sometimes have to make hard choices.
Today, the higher cost would just be an aggravation to discuss here. In '92, it was groceries to eat, or keep the CDL.
