I wish!

Old but still still game for a 140+ Autobahn blast each year - it would be rude not to!

The licence is renewed every third year with a self declaration of fitness.

I think I read somewhere that renewal at 70 is free.

Is that correct?

It is if you do it on line but you lose the over 3.500kg licence. If you want to keep it you have to do it by post, and get a doctors certificate to say you are medically fit, and probably pay for this certificate every 3 years. :headbang:
 
When I was 70 I decided not to go down this route as I could not see a need for the over 3500kg having never used it for years !
I think the restriction also applies to an over 15 (?) seater mini bus but I can’t foresee me needing that facility either!
 
Having read the replies on here I’ve decided to not worry about it, it seems that you can’t drive them after 70 anyway.

Take a driving test in one. If you pass you can then drive them at any age.
 
Curious what will happen to my licence at 70 as when I swapped my EU licence for a UK one, they gave me every single category :lol:

Where is your sense of adventure?

I've rented 7.5 tonners a few times when moving houses and loved them. You even get to play chicken with cocky bus drivers!

I don't mind paying a few quid to keep my "old gits entitlement" as I'm not aware of being a grandfather. :lol:

Curious on this pvr, are you saying that you were given D, D+E C and C+E as well as a track laying vehicle to go with your gun licence? :D
 
Yep, so if you need a track laying vehicle driver who can shoot trespassing peasants, I am your man :P
