Background
TfL’s licence renewal delays are severely affecting drivers, causing financial strain, mounting debt, and emotional stress. Many have been forced off the road, losing critical income while waiting months for their licences, despite applying well before expiry.
Government intervention is vital to restore trust and support essential workers. We need transparent investigations, expedited processing, and temporary licensing so drivers can continue working legally, protecting their livelihoods and easing hardship.
