“Renewing a driving licence in the UK is free for drivers aged 70 and over.
“The fact that so much of the system is going online is opening up opportunities for unscrupulous operators to target older people,” says Deborah Stone, MD of specialist advice website which has just published an online guide to driving after 70. And, as changes to how we renew our driving licences come into force, those with older parents who are still driving are being urged to help protect their relatives against scams, and also make sure that they are still fit to drive safely. There are some four million people in the UK aged 70 and over still driving.
