UK drivers warned of 'honest mistake' that could cost them their licence

UK motorists continue to drive illegally with expired photocard licences, risking fines and penalties as of recent DVLA data released last year.
This issue occurs because driving licences need to be updated once every decade, and numerous motorists either overlook their renewal deadlines or remain unaware that their licences are no longer valid.
Andrew Jervis, CEO of ClickMechanic, highlights that renewing photocard licences online is quick and easy, so there is no valid reason for driving with an expired licence.
Figures from the DVLA show over 3.6 million drivers use expired licences and risk £1,000 fines, with authorities encouraging online renewal to prevent offences.
Failing to renew or return an expired licence remains an offence that could result in fines or penalty points, emphasizing the importance of keeping documentation updated for road safety.
