New figures show how more than 3.6 million motorists currently hold a GB photocard that has expired, putting them at risk of a £1,000 fine
Millions of drivers could get a £1,000 fine because their driving licence has run out. You must have a photocard licence with your up-to-date information to drive legally in the UK, and you need to renew it every 10 years.
Andrew Jervis, who is the boss of ClickMechanic, an online place to find mechanics, asked for this information. He said: "Holding a valid and in-date licence is a legal requirement to drive in the UK and helps protect the safety of all road users. Many drivers won't be aware that their documentation has expired and it can be easy to miss an upcoming renewal date.
This card lasts for 10 years and then you need to get a new photo to keep it up to date. The photo helps stop people pretending to be someone else and driving when they shouldn't.
