DSA vs DVLA

[U_W v2.0]

i was thinking and it came to mind that the DVLA should be disbanded and all the licensing and vehicle registry (and other stuff) they deal with should be moved over to the DSA, the government appointed officials.

i dont think this would really put anyone out of work because the DSA would have to expand and well hey, those jobs would need filling so just chuck the dvla workers into the dsa.

but i dont understand why we have the driving standards agency for testing and so on and still let the dvla continue with thier cock ups over simple license and vehicle registry.

so, should the dvla be combined into the dsa, the dsa into the dvla or leave as is?

personally i think that if the dsa handled the licensing and registries, there might just be a little less errors coming about from the dvla. after all, the dvla must run a rather idiotic system for the number of mistakes coming out of it as they cant all be from human error

Depends why the DVLA was formed as it was.

They both serve different purposes so you couldn't just slap them all in an office.

They do however, do work in the same 'industry' so you could have a few buildings on the same site, probably wouldn't help increase their efficiency mind, allot of the staff and rules there seem purposely retarded.


I got a letter from them demanding/charging £25 for a v5C for the RD, I rang them and protested paying such a price for someone to click a button and print a sheet of paper; the letter stated it was legislation so when I questioned it they said it wasn't legislation just policy so I had a rant about them being a private organisation using legal lawful wording to profit from motorists... she wasn't too entertained.

In the same context as Banks charging silly amounts for overdraft & charges notification letters; I will not pay £25 for a replacement v5.

Get rid of VED, put it on fuel, and hand licensing over the post office. Burn Swansea to the ground. Machine gun any survivors.

Save all the hassle... just ban all vehicles... let's go back to the days of the horse and cart... other than farting animals there wasn't a lot of whinging about the 'ozone/carbon footprint/environmental damage/co2/harmful emissions etc'.

To be honest, the DVLA needs to stay... where else can you get such a large department of 'potato' counters in one area?

Why the need for tax discs? If you tax your vehicle and the system is instantly updated then why the fuck waste money issuing them?

What needs to be instant is putting insurance details on the MID. Too many people being pulled over when they have just insured their vehicles...more annoyingly, being pulled over after hours and not being able to ring the company up to confirm cover

DVLA are useless pricks.

At the very least move it out of the bum hole that is Swansea
