BDifficulty 2/5

Does an expired driving licence authorise its holder to drive?

Correct answer

No.

No: a licence whose validity has expired does not authorise driving. For categories AM, A1, A2, A, B and B+E, ordinary validity is ten years before age 65 and five years from that age; it can be reduced for medical fitness reasons. You can apply for renewal after expiry, but must have valid authorisation to drive the relevant vehicle.
