70 And Forgot To Get Licence Renewed

Question:

My mother turned 70 last July and we know that she had the form to fill in to get her licence reviewed but we realised recently that she might not have completed the application.

If not and she rectifies this now, what would the potential consequences be of the DVLA discovering she has been driving without a licence for 9 months?

Paula Says:

She won’t get into any trouble as long as she is not stopped by the police driving on a revoked licence. She can liaise with the DVLA in the safe knowledge that they won’t take any action against her. The only risk is getting caught driving before she gets it resolved.
