Hi guys
just a quick question
I’m 45 soon so I’ve had my medical and sent my licence off. If it is not back in time (exp 10/10/13) can I still drive or must I wait for it to come back ■■
Many thanks
you have sent it off before the expiry date so just carry on driving 
From DVLA website : Your new licence will be valid from the date your application is approved not from the expiry date of your current licence.
So if it’s not back before the expiry date give them a call to confirm it’s been approved.
If you have not had confirmation that it has been renewed then you cannot drive on 11/10/2013
I would ring them on monday to find out
Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate the advice
Mines been at the DVLA since march over a heart murmur they will send you a letter so you will be able to drive until your licence arrives if your medical picks anything untoward up
