Fine for having old address on driving licence
Discussion
Hi
I'm in a bit of a dilemma about my driving licence. I've not updated the address since I passed 24 years ago. To be honest I never owned a car until a couple of years ago so never really thought about it.
Anyway I've received a Notice of Intended Prosecution for going at 40 in a 30 zone - once I return that and get the (hopefully) fixed penalty, I understand that I need to send in my licence. If I send in my licence the address won't correspond to my current address.
I think I have 28 days to respond to the notice and then I wait for the penalty so there is plenty of time to change it with DVLA (and it's about time to get a photo licence anyway) but my question is, can I get fined £1,000 for this? They ask my addresses for the last 3 years (none of which are my old home address from when I passed).
I guess I have no choice other than to tell DVLA now (rather than send in the current licence with the fine) - but does anyone know if I would be likely to get fined for this?
Thanks
