I believe you should all take a look at this, just so as you know what's really going on as regards BIG BROTHER ......
For several years now it has been possible for anybody, to obtain personal details from the DVLA, if you know how to go about it.
In the good old US of A they have been able to obtain these sorts of details On-Line for a little while now.
And thanks to the recently negotiated SCHENGAN AGREEMENT (in order to assist anti-terrorism investigations) many international drivers and vehicle data-bases, are being linked up.
Now for the first time for those living in the USA, Canada, Holland, Belgium, Australian, New Zealand , Spain and the UK you can get on-line, and check on anyone's driver's license details, including your own!
Other countries are coming on-line all the time.
The international authorities haven't been too open about this so far.
However, the www link (at the bottom of this post) is one way of doing it for a general member of the public.
It's the USA's portal but actually (and perhaps unfortunately) it works for Canadian, English, Australian and New Zealand drivers licenses as well.
I just searched for mine...........simply putting in England as the city and there it was, a image of my full D/L, home address, date of birth, endorsements !!! picture and all.
This is really scary.
Never-the -less all is not lost.
The UK's Information Commissioner has forced the authorities to provide a way for members of the public in the UK to remove their details from public view. I have already removed mine. I respectfully suggest you all do the same.
Go to the website and check it out first to see if you are on there.
Just enter your name and city (in city put England ), leave blank the 'Select a State' field and see if yours is on file.
If your driving license comes on the screen, click on the the box marked 'Please remove from public view '.

Yea pete...I have noticed
Had one last night on a country lane S bend that suddenly decided to veer to my side of the road .....I swerved as far as I could without going into the ditch & braced myself for a half head-on impact, but he then suddenly veered back to his side of the road...
....Must have been one of those killer baboons driving home from the pub
