mellors Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Just received my photo card licence renewal. It runs out 1st November and I'm 70 end of december. I'm assuming it will renew till the end of December then I'll have to apply again for the 3 year one. According to the form this will come 90 days prior to renewal which will be 3 weeks time. Has any one been in this position and am i correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it will be £14 for two months and probably won't get it back before my renewal at 70 is sent in which is free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right. If you have a valid passport your ok or you'll need a new photo. Also be aware you loose you grandfather rights at 70 unless you use form d4 via postal application along with a medical form from your doctor. Online applications you loose them as well it tells you right at the end of the online application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed a police car through town on friday he indicated to pass two lads on electric scooters. Thought they'd pull them over but no.

GingerCat Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 In the grand scheme of things currently it's not very high on the list at all. The effects of TM are just starting to bite. The full effects will take a little be longer to be seen. In 20 years its easy the worst I've seen across the board, most days a full team is no where near fielded and the demand far outstrips resources. You then have to base what you go to on what the threat/harm/risk is. Sad but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C1 mainly that now requires a medical firm. But to retain pulling a trailer over 750kg we must apply by post or you'll lose that as well. So I'm told but cannot confirm trawling the internet. My mates is due November and he's already applied by post so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Just received my renewal letter today. Only two options; 1. Online and they use your passport photo. No use to me, no passport since 2006! Cost £14 2. Go to a Post Office and have a photo taken. Cost £21:50 I wonder if Richard Turpin is involved, bloody daylight robbery!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Just checked. I can apply by post, have to include an up to date photograph and it will cost me £17 plus the cost of the photograph and a stamp. OR I can go in to a Post Office and for £21 they will take the photograph and complete the form for me. Really very easy to work out, Post Office here I come!
