Confusion over new DVLA licence rules for holidaymakers

New rules that abolish the paper part of the UK driving licence could cause confusion, car hire companies are warning.

The paper counterpart shows a driver's record, including offences and endorsements, but all that information is going online instead.

The law has taken effect on 8 June, and means that holidaymakers who hire cars abroad will now need a special temporary code as proof of convictions.
