On the 21/02/09 i purchased a car from a friend, a Vauxhall Corsa with 8 months MOT but no Tax, as agreed the car was to be transported to my house on Monday the 23/02/09, the car turned up at around 08.10 the car was unloaded outside my house onto a grass verge off the road, i paid for the car, collected the documents (Logbook & MOT) and with my insurance policy left to get the Tax. i bought the TAX AT 09.09, arived home at 09.30 to find the car had been Clamped, the time on the document said 08.36, I rang, I pleaded i told them what had happened and they could'nt give a Damm, I feel Bullied & Robbed, They have Stopped me in the street and Mugged me, all they could say was that it is illegal to have a untaxed vehicle on the public highway, Well it was not on the Public Highway, it was on a grass verge outside my Home, according to tthe legal experts "the Public Highway" is a Road that is paid for by the public (road-tax) the grass verge is not a road, i have witness's, my neighbour is a Police Officer, and many other people that saw the car being unloaded... The Wheel Clamping Division of the DVLA are Horrible, Nasty, Robbing!

Having my wallet x license stolen in may, I applied for a replacement photo x paper license. On receipt I had a full motorcycle license, but only a provisional car license, despite passing my car test in 1962. I tried to sort the problem by email over a 3 week period, no luck. I phoned DVLA x the lady told me I didnt hold a full license, x to return them. I was then informed I couldnt drive a car until the problem is sorted, 2/3 weeks, that was 12 days ago. I emailed details of my license from 1962, also my IAM test pass in 1989, to expediate my having my full license returned.
