Millions of motorists are at risk of being issued £1,000 fines
Licences are valid for a decade after being issued, and anyone who continues to drive once theirs has expired is committing a serious offence, as your insurance will no longer be valid. This can result in £1,000 fines, or even a seized vehicle.
Part of the MSE email reads: "More than 3.6 million are driving on expired licences, check yours. If you don't renew, you risk a fine. Most photocards go out of date after 10 years." According to the Government department's official website, there are different ways to apply for a licence if you are over 70, a bus or lorry driver or need to renew a short term medical licence. Those needing to renew their licence should do so in good time before it expires.
