UK Driver Licence Fiasco

I just heard about this and thought I'd pass it on to anyone with the new style drivers licence, particularly those who took one out in 1998 or 1999. Very few people realise that they are only valid for 10 years so will need to be renewed any time now. If you don't you could get landed with a £1,000 fine! And they charge you for the privilege of renewal as well! I've posted the full story on one of my blogs. All Uk drivers need to be aware of this.
