Driving license/V5c address change required?

And you're convinced that means it can be any address rather than it being a warning from the DVLA not to use (for example) your business address when you only visit your business premises once a month?

Since you seem to think the DVLA's paraphrasing overrides statute, how about this:





If you read my post, I did provide the dictionary definition for it (although I chose oxford dictionary).

So you’ve not provided any evidence it must be your home address.

I’ll ask you again what does a traveller do?

Drivers are required by law to let the DVLA know if they change their name or address,!!!8221; said a DVLA spokesperson.

Yes, licence holders are required to notify the DVLA of a change of address, but that address is only required to be an address where they can be contacted at any time.

According to the DVLA, where certain groups are of no fixed abode (like travellers), they can give a care of address (which can be a hotel, doctors or friends address) providing the resident gives permission. This would fall under the "reasonable cause" exception from the offence I quoted.

(5)A person who [F75without reasonable cause]fails to comply with the duty under subsection [F76(2A),][F75(3) [F77, (3ZA)] or](4) above is guilty of an offence.

I don't think "I moved out of my parents and for no specific reason didn't want to update my details" would quite meet the reasonable cause exception like "I have no home address" would.

Also, not all travellers are of no fixed abode. The ones here all have very nice houses down towards Glasgow direction.

You can think what you like, but you don’t have to live at the address on your licence.
