More than 900,000 drivers risk a £1,000 fine after failing to renew photocard licences which expired in the past year, an investigation has found.
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) figures show 926,000 people entitled to drive in Britain held cards on September 3 which became out of date in the 12 months to the end of August.
That represents 2% of all drivers. A small proportion of the 926,000 are likely to have stopped driving without notifying the DVLA, according to data obtained by the PA news agency following a Freedom of Information request.
