 Head in sand or stir the DVLA bear? - Crankcase
At old mum's yesterday sorting her post. She's not had a car for a few years now and hasn't driven of course.

Letter from DVLA with a licence renewal form. Obviously we won't be doing that.

I was just going to ditch it but then noticed the paragraph saying "if you don't want to renew you must return your existing licence with a covering letter and not use this form".

Licence probably thrown away years back wold be my guess. I doubt she has a clue any more what a licence is, never mind whether she filed it anywhere, and a quick whizz through the obvious places didn't turn it up.

Anyone been down this route or similar? Do we think it's a case of "ignore the issue" or should we tell DVLA it's lost, which might just mean some sort of "replacing it in order to be able to cancel it" merry go round?
