Guernsey driving licence reminder letters to be stopped

Reminder letters will no longer be sent out to people in Guernsey who need to renew their driving licence.

The Environment department has announced it will instead text or e-mail drivers shortly before their licences are about to expire.

Drivers' mobile telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are currently being collated for this purpose.

The department has warned that it is an offence to drive without a licence and that there is no period of grace.
