Re: "People are living increasingly social lives"

The paper ones don't expire until you are 70; the neat 'charge for renewal' scam only came along with the photo ID element where an old photo may not match the new you.

Alas certain changes will trigger the plastic replacement merry-go-round. Here's the list from the DVLA website:

-------------------------------------------

You must get a new licence if:

* you change your address

* your licence has been defaced

* you change your name (you must apply by post using paper form D1 or D2)

* you’re getting a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) driver qualification card (DQC)

If none of these apply and your paper licence is still valid, you don’t need to exchange it for a photocard version.
