I am over 70 years old, why are my drivers licence dates being queried?

A little known fact is that your drivers licence expires on the last day of your 69^th year.  Thereafter you are required to renew your licence with the DVLA on a 3 year basis.  Failure to do this will mean that you are in effect driving without a valid licence.  For further information please review https://www.gov.uk/renew-driving-licence-at-70.  During our validation processes we will update your licence details with the correct information, which may result in a premium difference.
