I had to renew my driving licence this week. Thankfully, the UK government doesn’t make people take an actual test every ten years (I mean how many of us would pass that?) but they do make us update our photo ID.
Now. If you haven’t done this recently, you might not be aware that these days (in addition to the rather soulless post-Brexit updates) you can update your photo with your passport photo. Helpful eh?
Yes. Except my passport runs out in 2023. Which means it was last updated in 2013. And therefore, the photo on my driving licence which expires in 2031, was taken over 18 years before it expires. Is it just me or is that a bit mad?
If I get pulled over by the police, I’m not sure I could prove that the baby-faced, dark-haired, Russian security guard on my driving licence… is actually me.
Hopefully I won’t get shipped off to the gulag.
