DVLA Urges Drivers Who Passed Their Test Before 2016 to Act Now

Around 3 percent of UK drivers currently operate vehicles with expired licences, exposing themselves to legal penalties and enforcement actions.
This issue arises mainly because some motorists fail to renew licences as mandated, despite renewal being required every ten years or every three years after age 70.
Experts warn that driving with an expired licence invalidates insurance and could lead to fines up to £1,000, plus three to six penalty points or possible driving disqualification.
A motoring expert highlighted that since renewing a driving licence online is a fast and simple process costing just £14 and usually completed within five days, drivers have no valid reason to be on the road with an out-of-date licence.
Failing to renew a licence risks significant financial and legal consequences for drivers and highlights the importance of maintaining current documentation for road safety.
