Drivers could be slapped with £1,000 fines and penalty points for a major driving licence error, and millions are understood to be at risk in 2025.

Drivers are prepared to walk away from the roads altogether instead of taking one of two road safety checks.

All older drivers above the age of 70 will be affected by a simple DVLA rule with road users losing certain freedoms on UK roads.
