AIBU to threaten to call police on my sister?

NC because I feel bad about this. My DS's driving licence is years out of date. She can't have renewed it since she passed her test in the 1990s, because it's the old sort without a photo on it! And she has changed address several times since then. She says she never got round to updating it, and doesn't dare to do it now because she would have to declare her previous addresses.

I've told her the licence is not valid any more, so that must invalidate her insurance. It's really serious. If she has an accident and injures someone she won't be insured. She is now refusing to speak about it. I don't want to threaten to report her, but what else can I do?

Driving licenses need renewing every 10 years. How do people not know this!

Cockcustard. Mine is valid until I'm 70!

Good news - DSIS has just got her new photo licence. I thought she was kidding, but she applied online and though the site said you could wait up to 2 weeks, and longer because of coronavirus, it came today. So quick and easy after all that stress and upset.
And don't worry anyone, I would never have called the police on her, I was going demented with stress when I posted. We do wind each other up at times, but we're very close and I'm pleased that she's so happy now.

The old non photo licence is still valid it does not go out of date. The photo licence has to be updated due to picture. However she should update her address.

I would leave her to it. Nothing to do with you
