Damn geo locked links. Finally got it working with my VPN

That story makes no sense. Be interesting to find out what’s actually happened.

Reading the article it looks as though he's been a bit of a sneaky-Pete in trying to get a licence & maybe avoid taking a test...?

I wouldn't have thought that, in his late 30's & having worked with & around motor vehicles all his life, that he wouldn't have done that 20 years ago.?
Fwiw I wondered if it was linked to the recent attempt by everybody & their wife to get an Irish passport.?

/Edit.: Didn't realise he's just become a father for the first time.!

Well...it says he was trying to obtain a licence, so I'm just assuming he doesn't already have one, or he has had one & has lost his driving privileges at some point.

Maybe??

Wasn't there something about him obtaining an Irish racing licence a few years back?

Think so. Certainly rings a bell.

The guy gets more press than he warrants....don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but being "quaintly eccentric" only lasts for so long before it starts to wear thin.

Reading another article it appears he wanted to add categories to his UK licence from an Irish licence and the DVLA believe he is using a fake Irish licence to do this.
