DVLA issues important advice to anyone who needs to renew their driving licence
dailyrecord.co.ukDrivers who are looking to renew their licence online have been warned against using third-party sites, as they could be at risk of paying more than they should.Experts at the DVLA say that renewing driving licences using the online service is quick, simple and trustworthy.
