Do you have to resit your driving test at 70 UK? Your guide to license renewal

While many believe a retest is mandatory, the truth is simpler: you don't have to resit your driving test at 70 UK. Your driving licence will automatically expire on your 70th birthday, and you must renew it with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to continue driving legally. This process involves a health and eyesight declaration, not a practical retest.
