I bet you changed your address 3 years after you got your photocard????
Also, its not a "forced" charge. Its just a charge. Do you expect them to do it for free?? Am sure the plastic for the photocards isnt free, am sure the ink they use to print the thing out isnt free, am sure the printer itself wasnt free!!
Also its not an automated thing, so therefore someone has to be paid to do it. Then they send it out to you in the post which i am sure is also not free!!
Maybe the price shouldnt be as high as it is, i dont know and personally i dont care, however stop moaning about having to pay something, cos if you get it for free you can be damned sure they will take the money off you somewhere else, and to be honest they should do to as the items used and the time used to make the license are not free!!!!!!!!!

If you dont pay the "charge/fee" whatever you want to call, it you will not get a replacement driving licence and then are breaking the law if you then drive. In my humble opinion you are FORCED to pay for a licence that you have already paid for when you first got it under the threat of a £1000 fine. I started with a paper licence over 25 years ago and never wanted a photo licence but was FORCED to after passing all the categories and having to change my licence so many times.As i stated in my last post RIP OFF BRITAIN!!!

I dont know what planet your on but i think we would all like to live there in the harmless bliss of ignorance!!!
The photocard license was introduced to assist in the prevention of crime, i.e. people using someone elses paper license claiming it was theres, as there was a black market for stolen licenses!!
Secondly i refer to my original comments. None of the time, materials or equipment is free to create these photocards so why the hell shouldnt you pay for it?
Thirdly you were not forced to upgrade to a photocard license, it was your choice, stop driving or obey the rules. I am sure the likes of LSP would have alot to say about the benefits of these photocards to the law enforcement officers in verifying identity etc.......
Fourthly no-one is forcing you to stay in this country and abide by its laws, so if you have that much of a problem with it go live somewhere else!!!
