I'd explained I was a key worker and had no public transport routes to work to DVLA, they couldn't give a ****. To be honest I took a screen shot of my 2 hours worth of calls to them and Webchats and was seriously considering running the risk even though no policeman or court would have any empathy . Lack of insurance (through no tax?) despite the situation not really being my fault was the deal breaker @DJ - I didn't know that, I think I'll do it. Hope they give me the £25 back I've incurred off the back of this.

I thought back to the right to drive conversation. Tax really annoys me that they've always made it a PITA (in this case they made it impossible) but it carries a sizeable fine and I think points too.. where as the vehicle safety check which in my eyes is pretty cirtical - is a small fine (or was). A mate who's a copper never used to MOT his car, he said a lot of his colleagues didn't (hopefully that was fabricated) but I know for sure he didn't - plum. Digressing into a different gripe there.

Really odd phone call this morning. First reaction is always it's a scam, but I don't understand this one, anyone know anything?
9am - Landline call goes (British maybe slightly Welsh accent) Them - Hello, BT here, we have a customer who is trying to call you but can't get through, we're just checking the line. It's a Mr.A.Parkes, do you know Mr. Parkes? Me - Ermmm, .......(try to think what they're up to) ........ no. Them - OK, thanks for that, sorry to take your time. End. Weird, must be some sort of scam, BT wouldn't do that, and I'm not a customer of theirs. Any ideas? I can only think it's the start of a scam and they decide whether to pursue it depending on who answers.
