I only occasionally drive in Europe, but I propose driving to south-west France in August with my family. I hold an old style paper UK driving licence. I understand that the DVLA website does not suggest that this is inadequate, but a number of people have told me that the French Police can be difficult or otherwise suggest that an old style licence is not acceptable to them, and that I should therefore obtain a new style photocard licence. Can you advise on the true position please, so that if necessary, I still have time to apply for a new style licence?
