Hi emc.


I spoke to the DVLC about this issue.


You would normally recieve a reminder from the DVLC. when it is due for renewal


Have a look here. It explains what to do if you do not recieve a reminder.


Not clear if your licence is still valid. You will need to contact them.

I just got my renewal notice through the post. It says that you can keep driving while the new one processes but do need to send it in. The problem will be that your licence can't both be on holiday with you while you rent the car and with the DVLA being processed.


There is a space on the renewal form to say that you can't return the licence because you've lost one/both parts of it. I genuinely have lost the photocard part so I spotted this. I'm not sure whether you could use that as a loophole - request your new licence from DVLA saying that you've lost the old one while actually taking it with you?


Other problem, of course, might be that the rental company won't accept it.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
