my thoughts exactly...

This is absurd....

This year I have taxed 4 ex Fire Service vehicles at the local Post Office. Fire Service Vehicles are classed as Emergency Vehicles, exactly the same as Ambulances.......

I'm seeing my Post Office chap in the morning & will ask him. DVLA have closed their local offices, there is no way that you shouldn't be able to tax a vehicle immediately & be able to drive it via The Post Office..... :mad: ....

I was told lots of things changed in August this year. I wanted a couple of ex-army lorries re-classified as agricultural/forestry machines and had to sent everything to Swansea.

My local office was closed earlier in the year and the local Post Office just laughed - they didn't even have the appropriate forms.

Any chance you live in the same general area as Tigerprint, and could go to his local Past Office?

I'm in the far South East, I mentioned to my PO chap & he said he thought he'd done an ambulance before, couldn't properly look into it though as hoards people tutting as 'chat' going on.
