I have fallen foul of one of the DVLA's rules.

In May I bought a car due to the new rules the old owner has to send up the details... the old rules was beter as when I taxed it the log book would have been kept by the post office and a new one sent. The new rules he has to send it up. When he don't and if you don't realise you havent had the book you are off the road for 4 to 6 weeks while trhey check out who should own the car. I have the money to tax it but they will not let me. This is red tape out of control.. If I have to wait 6 weeks it might aswell be 8 weeks as it is then xmas and all the jobs I needed it for it will be to late to do.

So the bottom line I taxed it 6 months ago but this will not help me to be allowed to tax it again now... I have the car or I wouldn't be wanting to tax it.

This new method isn't the best way the old method was the best.
