best way of removing 25kW restriction code

[Mord]

I'm not up to date with the ways how to do it... so..

How to remove the =<25kW code from my licence without losing my entitlements? I'm truly scared of sending my driving licence to DVLA.

Should I just declare that the licence has been lost and ask for replacement, pay 20 quid? Will the 25kW code be removed automatically or will I need to ask them in a letter attached?

Or should I send my driving licence with the letter asking to remove the 25kW code? What are the odds that I will end up without the licence/entitlements?

Do I need to ask them to have the 25kW code removed at all, or is it just sorted automatically at renewal.

I need to have it sorted before I go abroad. That 25kW restriction will look dodgy if I'm stopped.

I emailed the DVLA about this and this was the reply i got

You have to renew this stupid little plastic things every 10 years.

It is just wasting money if you renew it after your restriction is up. You may aswel wait until you HAVE to renew it. That way you won't be loosing out.

Anyway, on the back it says that the code only applies for 2 years since the achieved date. So you've got nothing to fear if when the 2 years is us just jump on another bike. In another couple of years- THEN renew.

When you renew, always say your's is lost. You'll be sent a new one, but you still got your old one for backup if owt goes wrong.

Take half a dozen photocopies of your license before you send it away.

Then if you get it back with less entitlements, you can send it back with a photocopy, and a nicely worded letter.

If they do it again, a stronly worded letter with the photocopy.

If they do it again, take a dump in the letter and post it off.

You don't need to send it off. The restriction is removed automatically once you pass the date on the license. The police and others are aware of this.

Just leave it, sending off your license to the DVLA could cause you more problems than you have.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.
