- This situation arises because many motorists fail to keep their licences up to date, despite mandatory renewal requirements and clear DVLA rules.
- Driving with an expired licence can lead to fines up to £1,000, three to six penalty points, and possible discretionary disqualification, while invalidating insurance.
- A BigWantsYourCar.com expert warned, “This isn’t a trivial matter,” urging drivers to renew licences online within five days for legal and financial protection.
- These risks highlight the importance of licence compliance to protect drivers legally and support broader road safety across the UK.
