Are you 70 or over? Have you renewed your driving licence?
THE DVLA are warning drivers who are 70 or over that it may be time to renew their driving licence, and if they don’t, they could face a fine.
In response, Richard Evans, head of technical services at:- WeBuyAnyCar comments:- “To drive anywhere legally, drivers must hold a valid driving photocard licence which has the most up to date and correct details of your name, date of birth and full address. Generally, drivers need to renew their licence once every 10 years, however, those over 70 must renew once every 3 years in order to continue driving. Our research found that almost one in ten (8%) drivers are unaware that they would need to renew or update their driving licence. If drivers don’t have a valid licence, the DVLA warn they could be fined £1,000 and even risk having their vehicle seized. This will be a much heavier price to pay than the cost of updating the licence which starts from £14. If drivers know their license is about to expire, or their personal details have changed, it’s crucial they update their licence. Our guide on renewing a driving licence has everything drivers need to know about where and how to update their documents.” Should you wish to renew your driving licence online with DVLA, it is FREE to do this, if you’re 70 or over; or will be 70 in the next 90 days. To renew your licence online, please go to:- Gov.UK/Renew-Driving-Licence-At-70 BUT please do take note that, You cannot use the DVLA website service to renew a:- C1 (medium sized vehicles) or D1 (minibus) entitlements, you must do this by post.
