Post Office Photo Driving Licence - Praise

Hi, I just applied on Monday to renew my driving licence on Monday using the Post Office service and received my new licence this morning.
They use a special booth to take your picture and then take an electronic copy of your signature and transmit it to the DVLA. The service cost £4.50 on top of the £20 to renew my licence. Although people might not like to spend the £4.50, it usually costs about £4 to get your picture taken in one of the automatic booths and then postage on top of that if you send it the normal way. The Post Office also guarantee that your picture will meet DVLA standards.
Overall, a brilliant service, and well worth the service fee.
There are only limited post offices that can complete this service just now, I've put the link below.
