DVLA £1k fines: Why will almost 1 million drivers be fined?

Almost one million drivers are at risk of receiving a £1,000 fine for unrenewed photocard licenses, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) says.

After a Freedom of Information (FOI) investigation by the Press Association, the DVLA has revealed that more than 900,000 people had cards that were out of date since the end of August 2022.

The same request also found that about 2.5 million drivers renewed their cards after expiration or within 56 days of the expiry date in the last year.
