Do you mean the driving licenses that cost 5 shillings, the equivalent of 25p, renewed each year and no driving test necessary?

These were used until 1935 when the first compulsory driving tests were introduced.

But still driving licenses had a short life span until 1976, when they expired on the drivers' 70th birthday.
My Dad, god bless him, never took a driving test.

He learnt during the war, and after the war there was such a lack of testers and so many to be tested that there was an amnesty. Anyone with a certain amount of experience was given a full licence.
