Lgv licence expiry question

I will be 50 years old in July, medical due and new size fitting for my straight jacket similar to Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the lambs .
My question is what happens to the licence if I let it expire, when it runs out, do i have to take the whole test again.
For example two weeks holidays, then renew it on return ?

You can have a few years off then renew your licence if you want to.

There is a member on here who let their medical lapse for well over 10 year then passed a D4 medical which out them all back on his licence again

Nothing else needed

If your licence has not expired yet and you have not had a licence issued to you after october 2012 then change the photo now and get 5 more years LGV entitlement FREE from the date of the new licence issue

For all those who do not agree with missing a medical then there is the FREE alternative of having a NHS health check and often getting a free eye check at an opticians

I went over 10 years with it not being on my licence, didn’t have an issue.

55 in September so last renewal was September 2012, just did the photo change (using my passport photo from 2010 :unamused: ) online and digi renewal over the phone, both should turn up before expiry dates in April and May respectively, you’re saying that I won’t need a medical in September■■?

I changed my address just before I turned 45 in January last year so the expiry was 2016. The new one came back with an expiry of 2018! Go figure [emoji848]

Yes, 25th March 2022, so how will that work out then? Will I have to do a medical in March to get the next 5 years covered? Don’t like things out of sync!

Next D4 medical due March 2022 if you want to keep it valid but if you want to let it lapse for a while then thats ok because you simply pass a D4 medical when you want it to start again
