Is my paper license still valid ?
I'm getting mixed advice about my old paper license, to which 3 points were added in 2006 for a local GATSO trap. These points have long now expired, but it's been suggested that this is no longer a valid license and I must apply for a photocard license, and am committing an offence if I don't. Have you any guidance please?

It is valid, but I strongly advise you to change it for a photocard licence. If you have a passport issued after October 2006 then the DVLA can obtain your biometric photo from the passport office and you can do this online.

I put my license plate numbers into a car insurance website and the reg came up as a manual transmission, but the car is an automatic. I only have an automatic licence.
I understand there are some changes coming for drivers over 70. The DVLA does not seem to be forthcoming and and the internet has more rumours than facts. Can you supply details of the changes please and...
If I am banned from driving for a year, after getting 12 points, will I have to retake the driving test before getting my licence back? I am 84.
