Had to scrap my ancient Micra......truck came this morning to collect it. I had to show my driving licence to scrap dealer, but he was thrown by my pink+green A4 one! He'd never seen one before, and had to make phone call to his boss.....was deemed to be ok. I'm soooooo old :-(

I had to show my licence to a car salesman in order to test drive a vehicle a friend in France was buying.
I showed him my pink and green one and he politely asked if 'Sir' had an English driving licence....
My pink and green was stolen, Bath......didn't feel old with it at all but I do with the photo one I have now......if only they had airbrushed and titivated the photograph I wouldn't need to hide it away at the bottom of my bag... ;-)

How can I get my home address removed from my licence? Surely the ID number should suffice?
Question Author
sorry tambo....not sure I understand...why would you want your address removed?

x x
Baths, because the photo DL is used as ID. I prefer my home address un-streetview to all & sundry
Question Author
Ah, I see. Have a word with DVLA at Swansea maybe? I haven't a clue what the "new" driving licences are like...never seen one.
