Drivers aged 70 and over must renew their driving licence every three years or risk getting a hefty fine, warns the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
Like all drivers, elderly motorists must keep their licences up to date to avoid the hefty penalty. It comes amid the DVLA's reminder to older drivers on Twitter that the online renewal process is easy, quick and secure.
The agency also warned about middleman companies attempting to rip people off, BirminghamLive reported. It advised motorists to renew licences directly with the government, and to be wary of other websites offering the service - especially since many appear high up on Google search results.
