Nearly one million drivers in the UK could be facing a £1,000 fine after failing to meet an important deadline on their driving licence, according to new data.
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) figures showed 926,000 people were holding a photo ID driving licence card that expired in the 12 months to the end of August.
The number, obtained by the PA news agency following a Freedom of Information request, represents two per cent of all drivers.
