Up to two million motorists could be fined for having an expired licence photo card. Some may be shocked to learn that you actually need to update your licence once every ten years, people often assume that if you don’t need to renew your paper licence you don’t need to renew your card half of the licence, this presumption is wrong. It also doesn’t help that on the front of the licence the actual dates that you need to see for the licence to be renewed by are extremely small and people just over look them. <\/p>\n
The average fine issued when the police catch someone with an out of date licence is \u00a350 totalling a massive \u00a341 million pounds in fines issued for this offence. Don’t fall for the trap, just because the paper part of your licence doesn’t expire until you turn seventy if you look very closely at your picture side of the card then you will find that it expires every 10 years due to the need to update the picture of yourself for identification. <\/p>\n
