The DVLA has issued a reminder to all drivers that they need to renew their driving licence every 10 years - but there's a crucial detail to remember for older motorists
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has sounded an urgent alarm for motorists, especially older ones, to double-check their driving licences. Via its account on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter , the DVLA highlighted the importance of renewing driving licences.
The penalty for this infringement can be stiff; it carries three to six penalty points along with a £1,000 fine. To help drivers stay within the law, the DVLA clarified: "It costs £14 when you apply online. You must renew a photocard licence every 10 years - you'll receive a reminder before your current licence ends."
The agency provides details: "You'll need to apply for your first provisional licence if you've never applied for a provisional licence before or you applied for a provisional licence before 1 March 1973. To renew your licence online you need either a driver and vehicles account or a UK passport or the document you used to set up your online immigration status.", reports Birmingham Live.
