Here’s the thing I love about this: renewing your licence is a tiny act of self-care. It’s like changing your toothbrush or flossing—it’s boring, but future you will be grateful. Do it now, and you won’t have to think about it for another decade. That’s 10 whole years of pizza-filled, road-trip-ready freedom.
So go on, grab your phone or laptop. Check the date on that photocard. If it’s expired, spend 15 minutes and £14 to fix it. You’ll feel like a responsible adult—and you’ll have one less thing to worry about. Plus, you can tell your friends you’re “on top of your DVLA game,” which is sure to impress exactly nobody. But that’s okay. You’ll know.
