Re: Car Tax
I have just had to send off my driving licence as i am reaching 70 years old. Why I don,t know ,waste of gov. time . But there is a thing called " GATEWAY" they run. so what is it?I once they have your details and photo anything GOV. related all you have to do is go into GATWAY with your code they give you and your own password and all your details are there. For example picture -name-addy tele no etc so you don't have to fill out the same thing each time. I
use it for my passport - driving licence - and anything else that is GOV. related.
What has annoyed me is since I had, and still have, my red book driving licence for the 1960's what I am allowed to drive has been reduced significantly. This last application now stops me driving a 16 seater bus- 3,5 to 7.5 ton lorry, unless I did everything paper wise. Not that I can get 16 people in my car but that is beside the point.
You get people who drive a lot younger that drive dangerously or in the case yesterday in Scotland with the refuse lorry , where it seems the driver may have had a heart attack, but he was much younger and killed 8 people.
So why restrict 70+ year olds? it just does not make sense.
