I wuld probably have the same trouble as Dan. My insurance, MOT and tax all run out in the same week. i always have trouble getting it renewed. Still i like the idea of trundling down the road. Its job done, there and then. If they send out the disc special delivery or such lke, then id have to go to the post office to collect it anyway.

Good idea for those in rual areas, and blind people though

And blind people need a tax disk because.....

Top man, i like you (You do know i drive a volvo dont you)

Funny story time. An ex girlfriend, her mum and i where out in the car one day when Claire, my ex, piped up and said "Mum, why are threre these dimples on the back of the steering wheel?" "it must be so that blind poepl know where to put thier hands!!" Scary thing was, she meant it. Me, i was an oxygen case in the back of the car...then it dawned on both of them!!! Blondes, you just gotta love em!

Well, one of my old customers was declared blind.
He had a very small amount of sight - so bad that when he wrote a cheque, he had a little template thingumy-bob to keep his signature in the box - I had to fill out the amount! He also had a PC with a 21" monitor, which used to display about 3 words on it at a time so he could read them!

Well, the point of this is that one afternoon when I was round there, he asked me if I'd mind going oit to the garage and unplugging the batery charger so it didn't over-charge the battery!
I was a little nonplussed, so I enquired as to whose car it was!
It was his and he was very proud of the fact that he was still licensed & insured to drive it and that he used to drive it to the shops & back every couple of days!
The same customer used to go skiing!! He would pay an instructor to ski down the hill, with him holding on to his back as he went! The guy was well into his 60s which, for me, makes it even more amazing!

So - any way - anyone in the Peacehaven (East Sussex) area, beware of any white Vauxhall Cavalier 2.0i models that you see with an old fella behind the wheel - it may well be that the driver is actually blind!!!

Scary story from East Sussex!

Top man Mr Toad, I've just taxed the cage on line - expires 31.10. Saves all the hassle of finding the insurance cert and Q-ing at the Post Office. I spose it means that the PO doesn't get the rake-off from the DVLA for doing the tax disc, but at the rate they're closing POs here in S'bury there won't be any left soon.

At the club where I used to shoot, there was one member who was almost blind. Scary blind with 0.357
when he went for his driving test, they asked him to read the number plate on the car down the road.

"what car", test cancelled and a letter from swansea 3 days later asking for the return of his provisional licence. Lucky ******* can always get ****ed as it will never be his turn to drive

BTW why does this forum keep putting ***** in my words. what is wrong with barsteward or p155ed anyway

Hate to be a scaremongerer but I can find no link to this website from DVLA's home page. None of the instructions on DVLA's website http://www.dvla.gov.uk/welcome.htm indicate that you can pay online. Also when you click on the link at the start of this thread it takes you to another site http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/.

Just a thought but it may be worth checking it out before you hand money over. If I have missed an official link from the DVLA site then apologies for the oversight.
