The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has issued a warning on X, previously known as Twitter, informing drivers about what action they must take. Remember to renew your driving licence every 10 years, then the journey can go on!" The DVLA should dispatch a D46P renewal form 90 days before a driver's 70th birthday, and then every three years thereafter. These drivers must verify they meet minimum eyesight requirements and aren't barred from driving due to medical conditions.
