Eleven years ago, a naive teenager attempted to get a driving license in the UK, failed miserably and never bothered to try again.
Seven years ago, a family encouraged their eldest daughter, who studied abroad, to de-register at the family home in Germany so that they would qualify for a smaller rubbish bin.
Four years ago, a successful Economics graduate, got offered a job in South Africa and realised that she needed a driving license. She passed a UK test, but being an economical student did not spend an additional £20 on changing the photo the authority had on their system.
Three months ago, a rally driver in the making noticed that her driving license was about to expire and started exploring how to get a new one.
Today, a young urban professional has had to say bye-bye high heels, hello running shoes as her driving license expired and she has no legal way of getting a new one:
She does not live in the UK and does therefore not qualify for a UK license.
She is not registered in Germany and does therefore not qualify for a German license.
And she does not have the status of a “Permanent Resident” in South Africa and does therefore not qualify for a South African license.
That's what you call fallen through the system!
