Surrender Driving Licence

I got a 1 year ban last June. This was my first offence for anything. I have just been told I should have surrendered my full licence at the court that day. I was not told to do so by my duty solicitor or the court, so I still have it in my drawer at home. Should I send it to my local dvla Maidstone or to Swansea with a note saying what has happened.

Thanks,
gareth

Gareth,

You said you have just been told to surrender your driving licence - by whom?

Normally the court which sentences you retains your driving licence and then sends it to the DVLA with details of your ban. It is surprisingly that you were not asked to hand over your licence at that time. So the best thing for you to do is contact the court where you were sentenced and ask them what you should do. You can also try the DVLA if you cannot get in touch with the court.

One other thing - you should inform your insurance company of your driving ban (just in case you haven't done so)
