Drivers urged to double check their licences or risk facing £1,000 fine
Almost 30 percent of Brits were unaware that an out-of-date licence could land them a hefty fine, according to the latest research from motoring experts at Quotezone.co.uk. Currently, guidelines state drivers must renew their licence every ten years, with drivers who are nearing the end of the period receiving a renewal reminder in the post from the DVLA.
“When it comes to renewing photo licences, there are many other factors which could also cause drivers to face fines, including failure to update a new name, address or not updating their image on a new licence. With 7.5% of those drivers surveyed admitting to driving on the road not knowing they had an invalid licence, now is the time to double check wallets and make sure everything is up to speed, no one wants to risk an expensive fine.
This is why you must submit a brand new image of yourself taken in the last 30 days. Anyone found with an out-of-date image on their new photocard may be fined up to £1,000. Getting married Recently married Brits who are taking on their spouse’s surname will have to apply to change their licence to avoid facing fines. This is the same for anyone else choosing to change their name.
