With all the postal problems thought you would like to know my recent experience.
Received in post last Thursday 22/10 DVLA reminder for licence application at 70. I am 70 in January. Form even confirms whether or not a new photograph is required.
Went on line and used the HMG Gateway ID and password used for inland revenue submission.
Needed old licence, paper counterpart and passport to hand as these are asked for. After 10 minutes all done and sent. Confirmation said new licence in 8-10 days.
Arrived this morning 28/10 and so ok until 2013. Motor cycle and lawn mowers entitlement still recorded!
Of course I did not have any medical problems from the 14 listed.
Pretty good service.

I take it, passionwagen, that you didn't want to keep your grandfather rights to drive iup to 7.5 tonnes, then?

At age 70 a medical is required to continue with your "grandfathers rights" to drive anything over 3.5 ton.

Yes, that's right viator - but it's a once only opportunity when you reach 70 - if you don't do it at that time you'll lose the chance of re-instating it later.

Considered it but see no reason why I should have the medical at about £100 and then only valid for 3 years when it will all have to be done again.

Fair enough, pashionwagen - if you've no intention of wanting to drive anything bigger, there's no point. It was the fact that once you've renewed your licence at 70, the DVLA don't allow you to re-apply for your lost grandfather right that I wanted to get across. I'm glad you were aware of it because I know one or two people who have been caught out and bitterly regret that the DVLA don't advertise this aspect more widely. Glad to hear of the DVLA's efficiency in renewing your licence though.
Thanks for the heads up re Granddad rights for over 3.5t, I've a bit to go yet but useful to know, if only I remember it, I didn't think £100 was too much for three years though, surely you can get it done cheaper anyway.
