Drive time

Having lived in France for 12 years, driving on a French licence, I have no knowledge of the situation re UK licences but can easily check. However, re French licences, I have discussed with several French friends and none of them has knowledge of a requirement to renew their licences at 15 years.

Since September 2013, new credit-card style licences expire after 15 years. However, holders of paper ones, with no expiry date, are not obliged to change them until 2033 (with the exception of ones issued in 2013, which should already have been exchanged).
