The dvla have just today sent me a letter saying my blackbird is un insured and to fine me £100, i sent the sorn details off and licence, one of the paragraphs says, "quote" "if you did not receive confirmation then you are liable of the offence," how the fuck can they do this ?its their total incompetence not mine.so i am being charged £100 for something they have failed to do, yep fuckin brilliant. this has realy pissed me off now i am taking this further. i want to know by what act of parliament they can do this for starters.
Think your title says it all, RR. I'm in the throes of the do I, don't I dichotomy of sending my license for renewal. Wracked with doubt over the many urban myths regarding loss of motorcycle privileges. A neighbour who's a solicitor offered to provide me with a letter confirming my current qualification to ride should it go tits up, but you and I know that DVLA is a big enough, faceless enough monolith that it would probably count for feck 'ort. I think I will just phone them and ask them to check their computer for my details first before I re-apply. Even then, I'll be holding my breath until it returns. Funny thing, paranoia.
Kpone,fill the form in and tick the box that say`s you lost it.Don't send license and they send you a nice new shiny one.Ive just done the same,came back with all bike entitlements...Jobs a good un and no worries.
when i renewed my licence yonks ago, i put an A4 sheet inside with HUGE print saying, DO NOT OMIT MY MOTORCYCLE ENTITLEMENT
I did mean to ask you how that went Ash. Glad it worked okay for you okay. I might well try the Ash method, but on the other hand I may still try and communicate with them and post the transcripts, in case it might benefit others.
Its such a worry... fortunately i'm all done for another 10 years.Why do they ask for a colour photo and it comes back black and white...?It makes me look like a criminal.....
Well, it could have been worse... You could have sent the vicar/tart one, or the one in your onesie, or your Valentino Rossi commemorative outfit, or your nazi slut one...
Hummmm.. as you can tell form that list i enjoy fancy dress parties lol.Butlins next..... not sure what i'm going to wear for that.
im not saying owt! but our Ash does av a tendancy to dress to impress..... What about the 1 where shes washing the bike in her bra n skimpies.........Damn it said i wasnt going to mention owt!
Sorry Rolls, its bloody disgraceful £100 down,but if you need cheering up ill show you my picture of me cleaning my bike in a bikini.
i have sent a letter to the dvla, saying they owe me monies for the months left on the tax disc, if they say they havent received it, i have said tough shit, you still owe me it "touche"
Yeah, sorry RR, but in fairness, we were following on in the spirit of your thread title. The wankers...
Hey guys no,probs with that, i thought i posted about being sidetracked and then deleted it (cant see it on here) you must be side kicked (spelin) at least not fucker is abusing me like what i used to get on the Aprilia owners site, this site is ace, a bit of banter and no nasty bastards *YET* ha ha!!
I seem to remember that they claim to reserve the rights that its the registered keepers responsibility to make sure that it is sorn'd. I would, however contest this and refuse to pay if you have taken reasonable steps to sorn it as it may be illegal not to sorn a vehicle, but its not illegal to not keep a record, unless they could convince a magistrate that you are a liar, in which case i would gather evidence of the DVLAs cockups to highlight the fact that they do make mistakes.
Allways do mine online for this exact reason, takes 30secs and you get a comfirmation email within 2 mins of clicking done
I'm going to have to say it as sooner or later somebody will snipe it at you. (but remember, it's all in fun and nothing personal ) ahemm, ahemm, (just clearing my throat) "Ye should be f*****g ridin' it, not storin' it" All writings are not, or ever have been, necessarily the opinions, views or handbag size of the writer.
sorry mate i cant ride two bikes at the same time, i have got the 04 Blade, the superblackbird is for sale,i bought the B/bird to carry a pillion, (bike was good, she was a fukin nightmare) lol ! but as said before, once a sport bike rider, always a sport bike rider. anyhow i'm bloody retired now what the fuk you lot doin chattin on here get back to work.i bet you are at work ha ha !
Work is the curse of the drinking classes RR. My boss tries not to interfere with me venting my creative spleen and in return I don't discuss the inequalities of remuneration against profitability.
