VEHICLE DRIVING LICENSE

MORE INFORMATION IS NEEDED FOR THESE STAMPS. IF YOU CAN PROVIDE IT, AND/OR IMAGES, PLEASE CONTACT ME ON FACEBOOK (R. Howard Courtney)

Dates of Usage: 1977 - 1980
To pay the fee for a person driving a vehicle. Around 1980 this was abolished and the fee then fell under the category of Vehicle (License) Tax. Now, the vehicle, not the driver, was taxed. Previously an owner of several vehicles only had to pay one tax, now each vehicle is taxed.
