They have failed to spot that their photocard licence automatically
expires after ten years and has to be renewed.

Motoring organisations said most drivers believed, wrongly, that their
new-style licence was for life and blamed the Government for the
fiasco..."

Unwitting newsgroup readers were forced to read a subject already

Doug is retired and his hobbies include reading the daily mail and
failing at most things.
