I thought the plastic bit was optional and not everyone had one?

it is only free with the new service. previously it has been £5.00. Our committee have recently voted to keep 1 year licenses so that they can still check our driving license before issuing a new badge. a bit pointless now that the bit with the endorsements on will be obsolete in June and they can check it for free at any time. :roll:
