Cost of licences to fall

[Itchy]

Wait wait wait... so the DVLA already make a ton of mistakes, as they pay peanuts and get monkeys.

Yet the DVLA have found savings to make test fees?

It is me or is this a bad omen? Considering I've had to send my V5 back numerous times for wrong spelling and eventually settled on one letter wrong.

I did however get my you no longer own this vehicle letter though, for vehicles I sold a long time ago they had a whole sheet of A4 now its just a single sided compliment slip and it takes forever to get here (mine it got here today and it is dated 8/7/14).

Now that is worrying! If a Government department give you a discount or money back it usually means they are going to get it back another way! Makes me wonder just what they want in return and what kind of service we will get in the future as the present one is a shambles!

The cost of a provisional was £36 for years, then it jumped to £50. Don't see how its a bad thing, what else has gone down in price?

Arnt they just doing efficiency saving and sacking people and leaving everything to computers?

Still no good to me as the test fee's are the killer

as above, test is still bloody expensive!

i did mine myself with no training on my own back 3 years and it cost me:

cnt: £130
theory: £31
mod 1: 15.50
mod 2: £75.
£251!

not including the twice i failed theory test and failing mod 2 once it came to a overall total of £388.50!

almost £400 for a fucking bike test!
theory should only be £10-£15 its all automated except the guy who assigns you a computer. 2 members of staff in the place i did mine and about 15 computers so they will make wages .

mod 1 is fine maybe £15 save ya 50p!
mod 2 is pretty high £50 is much better imho

cbt is £130-£150 for what 8 hours yet 40 minutes for mod 2 is half that!

The cost of a new driver doing there driving test is normally more than the bike test id say.

Well they certainly got their money out of me for a licence. After failing the MOD1 three times but passing everything else first time it cost me £1100 including the school fees! now THAT is expensive for a licence! If i had done it back in the 70's when all my mates did it would have been £15.

Well yes it was, but not having any other way to practice for your test or try to get insurance on your own bike when your not licensed to ride it!

[krarkol]

Yup, new bike tests mean you can't ride around on a cbt for a while and then wing it on your test. So bike hire has to be added to the costs now...
