Driving License

Post by richiebroon »

Only asking out of sheer curiosity but what would happen if you were employed as a postman with driving and you lost your driving license? By lost I mean disqualified. Would you lose your job?

By the way did you know most paper licences (never could spell it) are obsolete from monday 8th june so your manager shouldn't ask for it every 2 weeks now! :Very Happy

Why then has the DVLC not informed me that my driving license is obsolete ?

It isn't, only the counterpart is obsolete, if you have the old pre 98 paper license you don't have a counterpart, it's all one license. If you have a photo licence that part is still valid, nobody's licence is obsolete.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
