An investigation has revealed more than 900,000 drivers are at risk of being given a hefty fine of £1,000 after failing to renew their driving licences.
The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) figures, obtained by PA news agency following a Freedom of Information request (FOI), show that two per cent of all drivers - around 926,000 people - who were entitled to a photocard on September 3 had their licenses expire in the 12 months leading up to the end of August, as reported by MEN.
In the past year, around 2.5 million drivers renewed their photocard after it had expired - or within 56 days of the expiry date in the past year.
