New Test For Over 70 Drivers From Dvla

[doddsredoubt]

Can anyone on theanswerbank give me an answer please, on the rumour I have heard about the DVLA sending you a questionnaire before your 70th birthday for an entitlement to drive again on the road,

Thankyou for any help.

You have to renew your licence at 70 then every 3 years. Look on gov.uk sorry I can't do links.

This is the Gov site which I used on my 70th

///Once you reach the age of 70, your licence expires – but this doesn’t automatically mean you have to stop driving. You just need to renew your driving licence if you want to continue and then every 3 years afterwards.
The DVLA will send you a D46P application form 90 days before your 70th birthday///

It's just a form to fill in, there's no test. I've done it twice now.

Just another thing to look forward to in our old age.! Must say I didn't know about this, at least it won't be such a shock now.
