Whay I resent is that they are telling us we need to update our photos, which is a term of the licence they decided upon but in order to change my photo I apparently need to pay for it? They have told US to change it but THEY want us to pay for it!

Well you pay my bill if you want ,i have a car licence and an automatic right to drive 7.5t lorries without any extra testing ,i have to fill out a tachograph everytime i drive it but the laws have changed so i have to have a digicard to use digital tachographs which have been introduced since 2006 ,that cost me £38 for what is basically the same as a Sky viewing card with my photo on it ,the same photo that was on the dvla's database .A driving licence only needs updating every 10yrs my digicard needs updating every 5 yrs at £38 a time plus my driving driving licence so every 10yrs i get pay £96

You could give up your license. Then you wouldn't need to pay. either that or move house as those changes are free of charge.

At least it's a reasonable charge instead of the ridiculous passport renewal fees.
