Not really sure what board to put this in but as it relates to driving put it here. I thought some of you might be interested in how your driving licence number is made up:-
1-5, the first five characters of your surname; 6, the decade you were born in (i.e. for 1957 it would be 5); 7-8, the month of birth, note the 7th character has 5 added to it if you are a woman (51-62 replacing 01 - 12); 9-10, the date of of birth (01 -31); 11, year of birth - decade of birth (e.g. 1957 would be 57 - 50 = 7; 12-13, your first two initials; 14-16, computer check digits or letters. If you have a short surname or no middle name a "9" is used for padding.
