DVLA warns elderly drivers risk huge fine if they do not renew their driving licence urgently

Drivers over the age of 70 are being urged to make sure their driving licence is valid.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) says pensioners need to renew their licence every three years. The law requires drivers to have a valid licence or face a £1,000 fine.

The agency also says motorists should use their official renewal system online to avoid any delays and has warned people that middle man companies are trying to rip people off, reports Birmingham Live.
