Over 70 licence renewal is this new?
I just applied to renew my driving licence again online and now they won't issue the new licence until I send the old licence back. Is this because I never sent my old licence back the last 3 times I applied or is this a new thing? It is the correct DVLA site I applied to.

Speed Awareness Course Costs 2025
Just in case this helps anyone else out, I checked the online/virtual course prices for AA Drivetech - £96.20, TTC - £100, Safer Essex - £98 and HCC - £98. It’s possible that you might get a cheaper quote if you book early but even so, I imagine Drivetech would most likely still be cheapest of these four providers. I spent…
