MSE News: Online driving records could cut car insurance bills

vaio

I was hoping for a government link rather than newspaper "guess"

The mail view on the same story http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2257383/2m-drivers-dont-know-licence-invalid-face-fines-1-000.html included such gems as

"[FONT=&quot]......One in 12 drivers admits they have not renewed their photo-card for at least a decade and are therefore driving without a valid licence. Although the DVLA recommends a fine of £1,000 for those caught driving with an invalid licence the police have the discretion to fine what they see fit[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]......."[/FONT]

[/FONT]"......Since 2010 some 734,000 drivers have been caught driving with an out-of-date licence and have paid out £41million in fines, averaging around £56 a time.[FONT=&quot]........"[/FONT]

as well as

".......As well as risking a fine, penalty points and even a ban, driving with an expired licence can also invalidate car insurance because the legal entitlement to drive has ended, said an LV= spokesman.[FONT=&quot]........". [/FONT]
