Licensing shambles

[kerfufflez]

You think licences are bad - compare it to your passports - they are required to be renewed every 5 years nowadays.... just in case you are a terrorist or suddenly develop and fetish for C4.

When did they change to the 5 year passports? (Mine's valid for ten years). So they've halved the time... but I'm guessing they didn't halve the fee.

Actually, the fee has doubled. SO that effectively means we now pay 4 times as much for the same length of time.

A licence photo therefore needs updating every 10 years to keep up with your sagging features and loss of hair.

So how much am I going to change in the 18 months until my brand new license expires?

Photo licences allow the police to check that it is infact YOU that produced the licence and you are not telling fibs or attempting to use a document i.e. fraudulently misrepresenting yourself and also failing to provide your correct details.

Lets face it - it is a handy form of I.D when you need it.

I don't have an issue with the licenses per se in fact I support them but I don't like the lies that were told to introduce them

So you will need to go and get a new one in 2013 or 2017?
