More than 44,000 motorists...
More than 44,000 motorists face fines of up to Ò£1,000 for failing to replace their photocard driving licences after the statutory 10 years.
The DVLA says the rules are in place as driversò€™ pictures get out of date. Every 10 years, they have to submit a new photo and pay a Ò£17.50 fee. As the plastic cards were introduced in 1998, thousands have now expired.
A DVLA spokesman told us these motorists may still drive, but could be fined for failing to surrender their licence. The Association of British Insurers said those with out-of-date cards may struggle to make a claim, though, while the AAò€™s Edmund King wants the DVLA to make it clearer that pictures need to be renewed. Old paper licences only expire when a driver turns 70.
