GB driving license changes

GB photo-card driving licence holders are being warned that the DVLA is abolishing the paper counterpart on 8 June 2015 and will cease to have any legal status. The counterpart was introduced to display information such as endorsement/penalty points. If you are planning to rent a vehicle in the UK or overseas then you should contact your rental supplier to clarify what actions you may need to take.
