    A mate of mine has just found out that his full licence expired 4 months ago. The rules of the road book indicates that you should apply for a renewal 3 months before the expire date. Is there a grace period on this, or will he have to retake a driving test?

    As far as Im aware, you must let it expire by 10 years or so before all is lost. Should just be able to renew as normal

    You are entitled to apply for a driving licence if:
    You have recently passed a driving test
    You hold a driving licence that will expire within 3 months and you want to renew it
    You held a driving licence that expired less than 10 years ago and you want to renew it
