CUTS challenges DVLA over escalating ‘delinquency’ charges

CUTS argues that the distinction is important because the law provides for enforcement and prosecution where an offence is committed, rather than automatically treating every expired licence as evidence of unlawful driving.

The system must distinguish an expired document from the separate act of driving without a valid licence,” he said.

Our concern is different: the DVLA should not presume that every person with an expired licence continued to drive, then impose an automatic escalating charge without first establishing the legal and factual basis,” he said.
