Driving
licence rules will be changing from 19th January
2013. There will be many new rules for motorcycles,
cars towing trailers, buses and lorries. Find out
more about these changes and how they could affect
you as an existing or new driver.
Chris Hunt Cooke highlighted this saying "the
driving licence |
| categories
in the EU are being harmonised next January, and
the format of UK driving licences is being altered."
From 19th January 2013 all driving licences issued
by DVLA will be in a new format. Old format licences
will still be valid, but they will be updated gradually
as they are renewed and replaced. Find out more
about the new style driving licence. More |
