Renewed over 70s  driving licence in December and have just realised didn't return my old licence.  Do I really need to do that or can I just shred it?

    I’m in the process of renewing mine, both mine and my wife’s run out in may, neither of us received a renewal notice, we did it at the post office, they do it all for you even taking your photo, they then give you a receipt in case you are stopped as they cut your licence up..

    The DVLA never contacted me on the 2 occasions I failed to return my expired DLs. I don't think they're that bothered, just creates more non productive work for them
