The law requires a driver to renew his or her licence on reaching the age of 70, and every three years thereafter. An information leaflet, `What you need to know about driving licences', and an application form are available from the Post Office.
All drivers, whatever their age, are required by law to notify the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of the onset or worsening of a medical condition which may affect their ability to drive safely. These include any heart condition, epilepsy, diabetes and difficulty in the use of limbs affecting a driver's ability to control a vehicle.
