UK drivers turning 70 must renew licenses or face fines

Drivers in the UK turning 70 must renew their driving licenses to avoid fines and legal issues. The DVLA sends reminder letters three months before the birthday and every three years after. Failure to renew a license can lead to invalid insurance and serious penalties, including fines and vehicle seizure. Drivers must also declare any medical conditions that could affect their driving. The DVLA warns that not disclosing medical issues can result in fines up to £1,000. It is recommended that drivers have a medical check before renewing their license at age 70 and each time thereafter.
