Expired driving licence

Hi please can anyone offer any advice .
earlier in the week I was involved in a non fault accident . I am a named driver on my husbands insurance .
We have only recently bought the car which is on hire purchase .
Whilst gathering our documents to send to the insurance company I have noticed that my licence has expired 2 1/2 years ago .
i am so angry at myself for overlooking this .
i understand that I will be not insured and will deal with the fallout , but are the insurance company likely to void my partners insurance altogether because of my stupidity.

Hiya sorry to hear you were in an accident hope you and your little boy are ok .
it was the photo that had expired not the licence .
Hopefully your insurance company won’t ask for your licence , and it will all be straight forward . Good luck !

Thankyou so much, baby is fine thankfully and I'm a little achy but nothing major. I renewed the license as soon as I got home and saw the letter. Nobody has asked for my license yet but assuming they may check on online checks. I got an email yesterday morning stating my application had been approved so really hoping it will just show as valid when they do their checks and not expired and they don't do any additional checks to see if it was expired at the time. It's definitely been a sleepless few nights and not an additional worry I needed right now! I never even knew they expired so lesson learned!
I'm glad all worked out for you, it's given me some hope!
I'll try and remember to update here

Hi, please could Joshua’s mum also post an update? A similar thing has happened to me.
