A motorist got stung after handing over personal details—including his mum’s maiden name and passport info—to a dodgy driving licence renewal service. Instead of using the official GOV.UK site, he clicked a shady link and unknowingly signed up for a whopping £89 fee every three months.

Don’t Get Ripped Off: Use GOV.UK for Licence Renewals

Renewing your driving licence should be simple, cheap, and safe. The official GOV.UK website charges from just £14, so there’s no need to fall for scams.

Always complete renewals at the 123.

Remember, a genuine driving licence renewal never costs a fortune—so don’t get mugged off by cheeky fraudsters.
