Dvla...
Who knew that DVLA, in their wisdom are closing all local offices by December 2013?
WHAT A DISGRACE.
They want everything to be either sent through the post or to update changes on the internet. Just to save money.
Well gauranteed, this will not work. Not many of the public knows about this & when the results of the consultation were received, there were hardly any responses in favour of this. But they are still going ahead with this very silly idea.
WELL DONE DVLA!

Well I didn’t know.
I’m sure most of the punters who currently turn up at their offices could do their business on line or through the post.
The last time I had cause to attend my nearest DVLA office (which is around 15 miles away) – I had purchased a vehicle that was on a cherished plate which was being retained by the owner. I can’t recall all the ins & outs of taxing the vehicle, but with all the documents showing the wrong registration, I had to take all the paperwork to their office to get the vehicle taxed – otherwise I would have not been able to drive the vehicle for days (possibly weeks) until the documents had been sorted out.
I don’t think that I could have legally driven the vehicle on the road, while I was waiting for DVLA to get their act together.

It's actually easier to go to the DVLA office Chuck, since the nearest local post office normally has a queue a 1000 yards long and you have to pay to park. Apart from the main post office (where you can lose 3 hours of your life), there are 2 post offices near here that do it, but the queues are SO bad, its just easier to go to the local DVLA office (free parking too). Although the fact that this office is normally dead is potentially a reason why they are closing them........
I normally tax my car online too, far easier.
I guess I'm lucky with the post offices round here though, whenever I have had to use a post office for anything I think the worst queue I've seen for ages is one person.... normally the longest wait is for a member of staff to actually come round behind the counter because there's no customers there.
