Drivers have been warned to make sure they check their licences, as they could have missed an important update that could see them caught out by a hefty fine.
Photocard licences must be renewed every 10 years, to ensure that the photo is a recent and true likeness of the driver. The gov.uk website warns that if drivers fail to renew their licence, they will be breaking the law and risk a fine of up to £1,000.
However, it appears that some drivers are unaware that their licence may have expired recently. According to figures obtained by PA from the DVLA, 926,000 people in the UK held photocards on September 3 which became out of date in the past 12 months leading up to the end of August.
