The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Only the Photograph (on a Photocard licence) needs to be renewed every ten years. The Driving licence is renewable at age 70, then, every three years. If you have C1 entitlement on your licence, you need a medical, (if you want to keep the C1), and, cannot renew online.

I'm not sure, I'll have to have a look, but I think I've got the C1 on my license, though I'm not interested in keeping it, I've not driven a vehicle of that size.

Can I ask what C1 is?

Hello. I'm now back in Lancashire. Four days of sunshine in Yorkshire, get home and it's dull, grey, drizzly and windy.

At the request of @Sterlo I exhaled deeply as we crossed the border.

Think anyone that passed before 1997 will have it. Lets you drive heavier vehicles and trailers I think from recollection?

I am right on the border and the poor weather is what we have here.

It is looking better for the weekend though. I hope to ride over to Lancashire and do a little tour of the Forest of Pendle.

Allows you to drive vehicle over 3.5Tonne. It is often relevant to those who drive Motorhome. Also, I think, relevant to towing, which may be relevant to those who tow caravan, not sure about the rules for towing, I don't tow anything heavier than 750kg (motorcycle on trailer).

Make sure you breathe out all of that Yorkshire air before you go home, we don't want any of it going over to the dark side!

And remove the Co2 from the wrong side o'Pennines when he goes!

Been for a plod in the sun. More geese over the house as I got back. Seems that yesterday was the first big day for them around here, saw lots of tweets about them.

Geese tweeting!
You got the identification correct?

Nearly a half marathon. In fact, it is I think as I’m sure a marathon is 42k?

Four for a quid supermarket near us.

Out for an Indian meal tonight. Home cooked, five courses, at the chefs' house, £20. The chefs, husband and wife, are from Gurjarat. All home cooked and never seen in restaurants.

This is the real deal.
