The Weather Wreaks Havoc In Spain

I've just completed the online application to renew my driving licence. They ask that you cut the old one in two and return it to them. Should I do this straight away or wait till the new licence arrives?

Interesting - according to the link provided by chelle you return the old one when you get the new one. Every time I've renewed mine they say (at the end of the application process) you should return the old one immediately. I've always returned mine once I've received and checked the new one even though it does seem to be a waste of time.
This post has reminded me that I just cut up my old one and binned it. My new one arrived about a month ago. I remember the letter told me to cut up the old one and return it to them. It told me the address to send it. The thing is ,the dvla envelope they sent me (can't remember why I got that) has the same address on it bar the last two letters of the postcode. Could I have just changed those two letters? Moot point now I know.
The DVLA are very bureaucratic, often pointlessly. When I sent them my medically-unfit-to-drive advice form, one question asks whether the licence is enclosed, and if NO why not.
I ticked NO and said I needed it for ID purposes as I don't have a passport.
I got a letter back saying that if I failed to return it they would mark my licence record as cancelled. Since my aforementioned form had that result anyway, I've kept it.
