I had to renew mine real regular when i was poorly.. then 1 yr, then 3 yr then got it back fully. i just stayed away from the doctor.. kept taking the meds.. Never took any tests though.. doesnt sound much fun.

Just another stealth tax introduced by the back door BB, if it moves tax it

Well, I have sought out my old green paper licence and it tells me that my expiry date is 2017........I have never had a notification to ask me to change to one of the newer licences. My hubby has one of the phot Id ones, but this because had had to apply for a new one as he lost the green paper one(I think it got washed in a pair of pants).

When i got my licence it was only valid for 3 years anyway but when i renewed it didnt cost me nowt either.
