On web site says cannot renew license under level 3 and 4 lock down.

Then it basically tells you to stay at home if license has expired. So I can’t get the grocery shopping by car.

It does say if driving for permitted reason on expired  license, police discretion will be used. Not sure how comfortable I am with that wording.

I don’t get why they don’t extend out the expiry date of license.

Here’s web site I got info from:
