  1. I wonder what a UK policeman would do if he stopped you for a minor traffic infringement? mandatory fine on a UK DL, or lots and lots of paperwork on a Thai DL..... UK residents have to use their UK driving licence when in the UK, you don't get the choice of which one to present. If the normal police checks show that you're not registered at the address on your licence you'll have to try to explain why you're using a licence with that address (changes of address have to be notified to the DVLA). When you can't, you'll be done for driving without a valid licence in addition to any other offences.
  2. Well thought out advice, many thanks. I am approaching expiry of pink paper licence valid until 70 years. Haven't driven either in UK or abroad for ten years so need to decide what to do. Well, it's advice but not exactly "well thought out advice" even though that's what a lot of us do! It is illegal if you're not resident in the UK and, if discovered, such as in a normal police traffic stop, your licence would be invalid.
  3. That's correct because the first 2-year licence is a temporary licence replaced with a full 5-year licence.
  4. That is incorrect, it is self-certification. I suppose that if a serious medical condition is disclosed to the DVLA then a medical may be required.
  5. The UK does not require a medical examination/report to renew a licence at age 70 under normal circumstances, just self-certification.
  6. "You shouldn't renew a UK Driving Licence using a friend or relative's address. You are putting them at risk". Not to mention that it's illegal for non-residents.
  7. How did you do that? UK licence renewals are only free for the over 70s. Those over 70 do not get 10 years, 3 is the maximum before another renewal.
  8. I thought it was falling off a horse but it's getting bitten, apparently.
  9. Yes, as I said, Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Ubon, Hat Yai, countrywide, I didn't say that there are hundreds of them.
  10. Jesus Christ... What's that got to do with it, or with you?
  11. "...simply because they want to be important". Bizarre. How could you ever know that?
  12. What about service in the hinterlands? Why worry, they haven't produced that car for 47 years. Having said that, you could use one of the countrywide Peugeot service centres.
  13. two aluminum heads with two camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (32 in total). https://www.engine-specs.net/toyota/2uz-fe.html i.e a quad cam engine. Thanks for the confirmation (that I really didn't need).
  14. All most of the bars with girls offer beer only. Nonsense.
  15. If you are a true sub you could. It does not sound like you are. A true sub would not indicate a preference, but would prefer something they did not like. "If you are a true sub you could. It does not sound like you are". I'm not a sub freak of any type, I'm normal, why do you keep suggesting that I am by using the word "you"?!
  16. 2UZ-FE Ok, a four cam V8, not a twin cam.
