My driving licence is up for renewal, but the online service keeps telling me I can't renew online. No reason why just an error message each time saying I cannot use the service.
Currently they are only taking calls from key workers, although I am a key worker I am working from home now so not really appropriate to call their phone line. Also on there website I saw they are not accepting paper applications (not sure if this is for new drivers or for everybody). Online web bot has said "I'll need to pass you onto an advisor but we are only accepting key workers"
Now I can currently live without a car. My DP drives and we have a local coop, so even if they did accept paper applications I don't think it's essential that I make a trip out to get a passport photo (no printer at home) or go to the post office. I'm also in my third trimester and only leaving the house in the morning when it's quiet for a dog walk - DP is doing the food shops at the moment.
I do need a licence for my primary role - but I won't be back to my proper job until January (thanks to WFH and mat leave)
So. If I don't renew my licence what will happen if I decided not to drive? Will I still get a fine and will I have trouble getting the licence back when I'm able to renew it? I will lose my job if I don't have a licence (ambulance) I've exhausted google and the government website and can't find a straight answer anywhere
