Call me bonkers, but I foresee that in the not-too-distant future we'll each be identified solely by our genetic signature.  Whilst it'll make Genealogy absolute child's play, that horrid photo on our Driving Licence is going to become somewhat redundant.

Getting rid of the photo would be a bonus!

Not having to renew it every 10 years would be even more of a bonus...

No, photo licences have to be renewed every 10 years anyway.

Check the small print, Sam. The licence doesn't expire, but the photo card does. The expiry date, iirc, is shown on the third line down.
