Default DVLA + VOSA ARE USELESS TIMEWASTING TOSS POTS

Applied to get my reg taken off the cossie last week. 4 days later i get a letter stating i have to take the car into a VOSA testing station at Newbury

Car has been sorned off the road since end of nov when the tax ran out, the clutch is slipping and the front needs painting.

Tried to call DVLA and VOSA to find out as to why this needs a check only to be given the run around.

Yesterday i was told i could drive it there but today i am being told i have to trailer it - what the fuck, i dont have a trailer and am not going to pay to hire one just for this.

Will also have to take time off work which i dont want to do.

Now waiting for the DVLA office manager in reading to call me back - CUNTS.

just got the DVLA office manager to call me and I am writing a letter to him to request a an officer come out and view the car at home.

The inspection is only to make sure the car exists and has the correct numbers - i sold the original reg when i bought the car so they have to assign a new agem related reg.

Normal procedure im led to believe, its just the hassle of taking time off work and getting the car to a testing station.
