If you look at the above picture, published in the Daily Mail, you'll spot a very big clue, one that even the
government acknowledges, as per
this (specifically page 12):
(d) information specific to the licence issued, numbered as follows:
4. (a) date of issue of the licence;
(b) date of expiry of the licence or a dash if the licence is valid indefinitely under the provision of Article 7(2)
6. photograph of the holder;
Yet
amid the outrage not once does the Daily Mail even mention it:
More than two million motorists are unwittingly getting behind the wheel with an out-of-date driving licence that could land them with a fine of up to £1,000, a survey reveals today.
The problem stems from drivers wrongly believing that the photo-identity card they carry is for life. In fact, it must be renewed every ten years.
This, say insurance experts, is causing confusion and could also render drivers’ insurance policies invalid.
Apparently the Daily Mail is a Eurosceptic paper.
