Unless you move house. Then the change is free of charge

But yeah in general the DVLA seem to charge through the nose for pretty much anything.

It's not fun. I've had to do the equivalent of a couple of driving tests and it shows how many bad habits creep in over the years.

If this did come in (possibly for people with 6+ points on their license?) I think a test retake every 10 years or so would be benificial.

I had to take one 4.5 years after I initially passed for a certificate to say that I could be a taxi driver, the con of it is, the certificate only lasts a year (luckily you only need it once assuming you keep your taxi license going), you don't get an additional code on your driving license, and it costs £75.

Suffice it to say, I was bricking it as much as when I first passed, it doesn't get any easier
