got pulled over today for speeding.... was only by a little bit, copper told me hed check over the van and if everythging was ok hed send me on my way with a warning not to do it again.....

everything was fine until the copper checked out my driving licence details.... according to DVLA I havent had one for 2 years...  havent been banned etc... it was revoked... and he didnt know why

awesome, 3 points, £60 fine, van towed anyway with £150 to get it back,

and if I get caught driving again theyll ban me from driving


I havnt had a licence for the last 2 years..... but Ive been done for speeding via speed camera twice in that time ?.... cheeky sods.

Is the revoked licence an error on the DVLAs part?  Kinda bizarre!

no idea.... going to rind em in the morning....

I havent done anything for it to be revoked (as far as I know)

was a bit of a surprise !

If you once learned how to drive you really do not need one to drive do you

could it have expired & you not renewed it? Photo licenses only last 10 years

But dont they let you know when its due, and its not like you have to retake your test, you still have a valid licence, just an invalid licence card surely?

Fingers crossed its their mistake and you can claim back the fines and the costs involved regarding loss of business whilst sorting it out and getting points on your licence etc

nope, I did renew it..... I was a bit late, but I did it and have the new one to prove it, old one ran out on 14/04/1999

photo ID last 10 years, so it would have ran out 2009... almost 2 years ago?

QuoteRenewing a Driving Licence that has been Expired for Some Time

If more than two years has passed since your driving licence expired, you may be made to retake your driving test in order to get a new licence. This is especially the case if your licence has expired due to age (driving licences need to be renewed when you reach seventy) or medical reasons. For these, you may also have to pass a medical. In other cases, you can simply apply for a new licence without problem, although the DVLA will often want to know why your licence has been expired for so long.

Looks like you got off lightly with only 60 quid and 3 points, could have been a lot worse if you went over 2 years since it expired!  

Thats got to be whats happened i thought that earlier on after you told me, your licence must have needed renewing

Im still using the old paper license, kind of glad i never bothered going for a photo one

just phoned the DVLA..... apparently they have no record of receiving my licence the last time I sent it in for points.... so they revoked it - this was all last September, so Im not sure where they copper got 2 years from

need to fill out a form and its all sorted, going to take 3 weeks tho

this is why the copper I got pulled up by about a week before mine expired to me to registered post it.  Said they are infamous for things going missing.
