Driving Licence Fines

Drivers may be given hefty fines of up to £1,000 if they do not renew their photo-card licence. Photo-card licences were put in place 15 years ago and over 30million drivers now have one. These are usually valid for 10 years and there is a legal requirement for drivers to renew the photograph at the same time as they renew their licence. If a driver is pulled over by police with an invalid driving licence, they could receive a fine of up to £1,000.
