I'm not going to pay money to remove something that doesn't need removing :huh:

That's what I was just checking...They can stay on my license for ever then. Not paying for a new one.

4 years for speeding
11 years for drink driving

Post by: DubFan on 30 October 2012, 17:32: I had 3 points on my licence from speeding (34mph in a 30 zone, ffs), but they came off automatically when I renewed my licence. So I didn't pay a fee to have them removed.
You guys do know that you have to renew your photo licence every 10yrs don't you?
