Reason.
"Holders of a British Driving Licence and residing in France, whose driving rights were acquired before 1st January 2021, may continue to drive with their valid original DL.\nOnly expired, lost, stolen, deteriorated, suspended, canceled or with an infraction leading to point withdrawal in France, or with a class extension can be exchanged."
It was written in English. Suit's me in the meantime. I can continue to drive Sally's car on Fraggle Rock.

I thought that was only the case up to Dec 2021, though, Ally. Given the slowness of the foncs processing requests via ANTS, aggravated by the holiday season, perhaps best to apply now  My OH being in the same boat (car?) we reckon his best bet is to zoom by the local radar at 86kmph  |

It has been announced that one point is not enough to initiate a driving licence exchange. 😀

My application was made in December 2020. It's easier than zooming past a radar. Claim the licence is lost or stick in the washing machine. I'm fine with keeping a UK licence in the meantime for reasons already stated. |

If your licence has an issue date of after Jan 2021, you have to exchange the licence after 12 months - that's 12 months from the date of your Carte de Sejour. Prior to that, the UK licence stays valid until the earliest of the possible expiry dates ( there seem to be 2 on the photocard licence but mine are both the same.)

For those here before 31/12/20 only licences with less than 6 months, with points, lost, damaged etc will be exchanged.
