Have you sent your licence to the DVLA to have the endorsement applied to your licence’s paper counterpart?
If not, did you know that you could have your licence revoked and therefore be driving round without insurance?
In the past people who failed to submit their licence were given a 12 month period of grace. After this time their licence would be revoked and they would lose their entitlement to drive.
As of November 2010 if a driver doesn’t surrender their licence within 28 days the licence will be revoked straight away. If they carry on driving it will be deemed the same as driving without a licence and therefore an offence. No licence means no Insurance.
Employers should ensure that they regularly check the validity of their employees driving licences and make them aware of the recent changes. If an employer knowingly allows one of their employees to continue driving with the knowledge that their licence has been revoked they may be guilty of an offence themselves.
