As per title really.

I reapplied for mine the week before Christmas as it had expired 18 months back, I hadn’t renewed it back then due to a long ongoing issue with the DVLA/DMG which has now been put right.

As it hasn’t arrived yet and I’m desperate to get back to work I gave them a bell today. After checking my details on the phone the helpful lady explained to me that my card had been issued and sent to me on the 8th of December,
and she was surprised it hadn’t arrived.

I then told her I was more surprised than she was as I hadn’t actually applied for said card until the 22nd of December!!!!!!

After dealing with the DVLA and it’s inadequacies this past 3 years I didn’t think there was anything else they could do to surprise me.

Just shows you eh smile

Hello mate biggrin

Hard to believe I know, but yes I now have all licences reinstated and my new digi card has arrived.
Back in a wagon tomorrow for the first time in over 3 and a half years, and its a wagon and drag on an A frame eek
That's a first for me.


Been working on my claims form for quite a few days now, the one that the DVLA sent me. I want to make sure I get it right.

Yes mate I could go back on the tours and would love too, but its just the time away from home. If I were a single man maybe.

Reversing is certainly going to be the interesting bit!!!!!
