There is a leaflet and application form for obtaining compensation from DVLA when the Agency admits it has made a mistake. The form was sent to me when I finally lost my temper over the DVLA's blunder that saw my full motorcycle entitlement vanish without trace.
Since it took a lot of effort and months of waiting to get that entitlement back, I submitted the application form for compensation.
I still think I deserved compensation, but I got a standard reply explaining that the DVLA, as an Executive Agency of Government, is funded by the taxpayer and that it would be inappropriate for compensation to be paid from the public purse.
Of course that's true, but I didn't want the taxpayers' money. I wanted Crapita to compensate me out of its own profits! And besides, why is there a compensation form, if compensation can't be paid? I bet there's a Crapita department at DVLA dedicated to processing and then rejecting all compensation claims! And the taxpayer pays for that!0 -
First bold...leave earlier if you don't want to be late, not hard to work out really!
The typical arrogant "bury my head in the sand" and "lets do an unintelligent one line put down to stop this arguement before anyone goes into detail and really thinks logically about it", response.
What it fails to take into consideration is that there are hundreds of factors we could take into consideration when planning a journey and if we considered all of them we'd be taking sleeping bags to work and staying over night under our desks.
I used to drive 9 miles to work, this could either take less than 10 minutes (6 minutes if you bend time and space), or nearly an hour depending mainly on the presence of excessively slow drivers....
Now, when you start work at 5:30am and have a 12 hour shift ahead of you, the last thing you want to be doing is getting up at 3am just because some dozy c**t wants to sit at 25mph going "look at aaaaaaaaaaaall these impatient drivers behind me Doris, I think im going to exercise the only power I have left in the entire world and p1ss them off as much as I can JUST to get a reaction".
"did you see that one?!?!?! he came tearing past!!! engine flaring!!!!! in his little sports car with the L plates on, bloody boy racers! and what about this idiot in the JCB? tut tut tut, those go faster yellow flashing lights didn't get him very far did they? ha"“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Trouble is crapita is probably some way of taking the cost off Government balance sheet but in reality still being an extension of government.
Be fair who else would engage them?"If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

It was the other way around actually, she thought that the whole street was double parked and tried to plough on down the middle.
But nevermind huh?
