Looks like the paper copy of our Driving Licence is going to follow the demise of the paper Tax Disc.

I've just picked this off another forum:

Good ridance to it as well - fed up with carrying it around on every trip that I use a hire car! The car rental agreement requires that one can produce both parts, but when one collects the car, they have no interest in the paper part.

I wonder when they call in the old paper only licences.

Mine has been battered anyway - if it's ever asked for (courtesy of hire car) they usually don't bother copying it!

I thought I had read that these were going to be withdrawn and everyone was going to have to change to the photocard license but checking the DVLA website it would suggest that you can continue with the old paper only version until such time as you move or change name.
