Fuck the DVLA. Seriously.

Posted on April 12, 2010April 12, 2010 By admin

The DVLA assured me that they sent a letter to my GP last thursday. My GP tells me that they haven’t received anything. It’s been more than a month now, and I have the feeling that I’ll have to push back the course – again.

This is taking all the fun out of what started out as a great thing, and I am not amused.

UPDATE: The GP surgery just called me. Apparently the letter arrived last Friday. However, they have no record of the condition that the DVLA wants information on. This makes perfect sense as this is something I was diagnosed with in Canada, about 20 years ago. The practice manager is going to call the DVLA. If they want my Canadian records, I’m screwed because I had to cancel my health coverage when I moved to the UK 5 years ago so those records, if they’re still around, are probably archived in some lower level of administrative hell. If they want me to go for tests here, I might as well cancel my course because it’s going to be months before I can see anybody. This should be fun.

Quote of the day

The world is made up of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This is a fact well known even to Corporal Nobbs. It's also wrong. There's a fifth element, and generally it's called Surprise.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
