The host of the BBC Sounds podcast has emphasised the importance of keeping them up to date
Two million drivers could be hit with a fine for violating a DVLA rule, following a warning from Martin Lewis . The host of the BBC Sounds podcast has emphasised the importance of renewing driving licences, as two million motorists across the UK are currently driving with expired permits.
Webuyanycar experts have urged drivers to take "extra precaution" in keeping their licence up to date or face potential penalties. They explained: "To drive anywhere legally, you must hold a valid driving licence which has the most up-to-date details, so with more people travelling over summer and in unfamiliar areas, it's especially important to ensure your licence is in date.
"Generally, you're required to renew your licence every 10 years, and this changes to three years if you're over 70. So, if you know your licence is about to expire, or your personal details have changed, it's crucial to update your licence. Our research found that just under half of drivers have received a penalty charge notice for driving offences.
Observing the current situation, Mr Lewis, in the Money Saving Expert newsletter, put forth a warning saying, "Has your photo driving licence expired? 2m have. They usually expire after 10 years - so check its SECTION 4B to see.", reports Birmingham Live.Above this, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has stated that over 3.6 million photocard licences are currently not up-to-date.
