Problems at DVLA
The BBC are reporting that there are huge backlogs of licence applications.
Last week I filled out my compulsory age related re-licence application online.
As my council use driving licences as a proof of address when using the recycling centre, I withheld sending my old licence as I hadn't got a clue how long it would be before I could hold a licence in my hand.
On Monday my replacement licence dropped through my letterbox, it took 5 days, including a weekend.
If you need to contact the DVLA, do it online if you are able. Then you can ignore the news stories about delays.
(My old licence has been chopped in half and returned to Swansea, how long they take to destroy it is down to them.)
