Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has urged Britons to check their driving licence is up to date.
The finance journalist warned that there are currently more than two million people in the UK who have out-of-date photo cards.
Britons are required to renew their licence ever 10 years with the process costing just £14.
But failure to do so could land drivers with a hefty fine of as much as £1,000.
The Money Saving Expert said taking action now would cost just £14
PALewis said: "UK photo driving licences usually expire after 10 years - so if you've got one, take a quick look at its 4b 'expiry date' label.
"If you don't renew, you ultimately risk being fined."
The expiry date is printed on the front of the licence card.
Renewals can be done online at Gov.uk for all Britons who have a valid UK passport.
While it costs just £14 to request a new card online, the price rises to £17 if being request via post.
Drivers should get a reminder that their licence card will expire, one month in advance.
Britons who have previously had their driving licence lost or stolen and had to re-order a card early, are still required to renew at the 10 year-mark.
Over-70s should also be aware that they are required to renew their licence every three years, rather than every 10 years.
