DavisH Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 This is normal. Remember to renew your licence next time after it expires (after your birthday). You will get the extra time again. I just did that 2 weeks ago. Renewed 1 day after my birthday and got 5 yrs 364 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have one year to renew a 5 year licence that has expired, without any penalty. 1 - 3 years expired you would need a written test. After 3 years expired one requires the drivign test too. Thanks for the birthday wishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggar Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thank you both very much - will do it after my birthday. But I think the people should be aware that they are not allowed to drive if the license is expired - at least this is my understanding. So not so easy to get there to renew your licence. You need someone bringing you there. Otherwise especially in case of an accident you will have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to be extrememly unlucky to get pulled over or have an accident in the short time its expired. But I wouldn't drive on it expired for too long. I've been stopped 3 times in 20 years, so thought I'd take the chance:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
