John and I had decided that we would take my application and old driving licence to Swansea, the actual centre of the DVLA in the UK - only an hour's drive, and I'd take the day off. But would you believe it, their address is nowhere to be found on the internet (though I could figure it out). It's all PO Box numbers. I rang to discuss this and they told me they don't encourage visits, that sending by fax would be quicker, etc etc. I'd have gladly stood in line for this, but the only place you get to do this is the Post Office!<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-2824529728585704332012-12-05T04:09:48.521+00:002012-12-05T04:09:48.521+00:00Holy Moly How horrific!!!

Are there no offices you can go to and just sit and refuse ot budge until they fix things? <br /><br />I am glad you are finally sorted and can drive again. Such a pity the system is set up to trip the doctors up.<br /><br />xxoooTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-78601988840320945362012-12-04T19:55:23.968+00:002012-12-04T19:55:23.968+00:00Penny - one of the things I read on the internet f...Penny - one of the things I read on the internet forums where they discussed this problem was that many had told the DVLA about it - and no action has been taken. I think it's a lesson I'll never forget.<br />Thanks Sue, so glad it made you smile!<br />Sandy - oh well, at least I don't use the car for texting and talking on the mobile, as so many others do!<br />CarolineLonicerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141723287143567146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360936507322491939.post-61089515082076242142012-12-03T22:44:13.682+00:002012-12-03T22:44:13.682+00:00What a pain.

Thank you for the laughs though I'm sure you didn't find it funny going through it. I'm glad you've got it all sorted out. I know just exactly how frustrating it is to go through bureaucracies as you've described and talk to different people every time going around the same information! I dislike those negatively worded questions also. Seems in the case of your motor vehicle department they should be made to change it.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.com
