The haptic of the gray driving license, as well as the size, corresponded to that of a lapel.

When is the old grey driving licence still valid?

Next period ends in January 2023 These licences must be exchanged.

because the very old driving licence was so big that they didn’t fit in anywhere, they were folded until they could fit anywhere. After years, they looked like cleaning cloths.

The old grey was partly so blurred that the name fits well

There are also people who say crawls.

There are other terms for many terms.

Lappen/Führerschein is part of this.

They were such a mixture of fabric and paper and had about the size DIN A5. They were folded once and then handed over to one. Since they didn’t fit into a purse they were folded again and then disappeared in the purse that meant landing in the bag. After years of “challenged” they were indeed more similar to a cloth than a document. In addition, they did not have a limitation of validity, so they were practically life-long. This has been abolished for a few years. Now the “cards” must be renewed every 15 years.

There are always primitive people who use devalued names for certain things.

And there are always people who give their primitive must to all, even if there is nothing to do with the thing itself.

Do you have to call the driving licence politically correct? Not that any driving license owners feel discriminated.

the term “Lappen” is still due to the fact that the first introduced driver’s license of 1888 was in the DinA5 folding format and the falsification-proof special paper consisted of a mixture, which felt a bit like a cloth flap.

Hello, Anonym098810.

The word “Lappen” was said earlier to the old driver’s license, which I remember from my dad. It was gray, such a funny mixed fabric, folded together, and it had to be put in a wallet, because it was too inconsistent that it would have fit into a normal wallet.

And because he was so funny about quality, he got that name “Lappen”.

Greetings, Renate.

Just like that. You’re also saying lichens.

Since the driving licences used to look like lobes, they are still sometimes said.

These often tell the older people. Before the EU plastic card there were paper guide tickets. They had about the size and consistency of a vehicle license. So that was also a “Lappen”

In the past, this was really a gray “rag” (my father had such one), see stormy’s answer.

Because he used to be tall and gray. Like a lapel

I belong to it. My first driver’s license resembled a gray lobe. It wasn’t a plastic card at the time, like today.
