DVLA warns older drivers to renew their licence or face £1,000 fine

The DVLA has warned pensioners that they face a hefty fine if they do not renew their licence. Motorists over the age of 70 need to renew their licence every three years in order to avoid a fine of £1,000.

The government department has advised motorists to use their online system to renew their licence and avoid delays, while also warning people against using other unofficial middle man websites.

Drivers have been advised that they should only renew their licence directly from the government. While these sites appear to be official and appear high up on online search results, elderly motorists are warned that they could be ripped off if they choose to use them over the DVLA system.
