UK drivers warned of 'honest mistake' that could cost them their licence

Millions of UK motorists risk fines and license loss for driving with expired photocard licences, illegal since renewal is required every ten years.
This issue stems from many drivers missing renewal dates or being unaware their documentation has expired, despite online renewal being quick and easy.
The DVLA confirmed over 3.6 million drivers operated with expired licences last year, and legal obligations include notifying changes like address or medical conditions promptly.
Andrew Jervis, CEO of ClickMechanic, highlighted that since renewing a driving licence online is simple and fast, there is no justification for anyone to drive without a current and valid licence, underscoring everyone’s role in maintaining road safety.
Failing to return or renew licences can result in fines up to £1,000 and six penalty points, highlighting the need for motorists to maintain current driving documents.
