When she renewed her licence at 70, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency sent her one for a moped instead of a car
Just before her 70th birthday, my mother sent the paperwork to renew her driving licence. But instead of a full car licence, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issued her with one for a moped. She has never ridden a moped in her life.
She assumed this was an administrative error and complained. However, the DVLA said it had no record of her passing a category B (car) driving test and holding a full licence.
