The DVLA is urging drivers born before 1955 to complete a straightforward online task. The DVLA has reminded motorists, road users and drivers aged 70 and above that it could be time to renew their licence.

This comes as drivers aged 70 and over must renew their licences every three years, which is more regular than the 10-year renewal period for younger drivers. In a post shared on social media platform X, the DVLA said: "Are you 70 or over and due to renew your driving licence? Do it for free! Grab a cuppa and renew today."
