It`s that time of year again. Scooter insurance renewal!! So I go onto the comparison sites, choose a provider (after having to tell them everything about me and the scoot except what we have for breakfast- cereals with yogurt by the way), then find that they want me to provide a copy of both sides of my drivers licence and a copy of my drivers licence summary from the DVLA! I`m sure it never used to be this complicated??

Re: Insurance.
That`s what I thought Mr Grumpy, but obviously that`s not good enough for them!

Just found this. Looks like they want you to confirm valid licence, convictions etc. I've never to do it - is something new coming in?

Re: Insurance.
Well yes....the 'My Licence bit of that link is would appear to be designed for insurance companies to get the info they need electronically, with no need for paper copies.
