Around 926,000 people entitled to drive in the UK held driving licences which expired in September 2022
Nearly one million UK drivers could be at risk of a £1,000 fine if they forget a crucial check before taking to the roads.A small proportion of the 926,000 are likely to have stopped driving without notifying the DVLA.
Driving entitlement normally remains until someone reaches 70, after which they must renew their licence every three years to stay on the road.Expiry dates are displayed in section 4b on the front of cards. Philip Gomm of the RAC Foundation said: “There are good reasons to keep licences up to date, beyond the basic legal requirement.
“Renewal also provides an opportunity for people to assess whether they are still fit to drive, and we think there is an argument for linking a compulsory eye test to the process to make sure we all remain safe on the road, though Government should help keep costs as low as possible for motorists.
