What should a driver do if their license has expired?

If a driver's license has expired, the appropriate action is to schedule a renewal appointment and prepare for any necessary exams, which may include a vision test or possibly a written test, depending on how long the license has been expired. Driving with an expired license is illegal and can lead to penalties, including fines or increased insurance rates.

Renewing the license promptly is crucial to ensure the driver remains compliant with state regulations and maintains safe driving privileges. Additionally, waiting until a specific date, like a birthday, or expecting an automatic renewal in the mail, fails to address the immediate legal requirement of having a valid license while driving. Taking proactive steps for renewal is essential for responsible and lawful driving.
