It is in all over the internet about the incompatance of the DVLA with people waiting months for their licences. I myself been waiting 8 months.

I am just wonder how is it that the DVLA don't have to pay compensation or are never sued?

Incompatance should always result in compansation.

You could get a lawyar to write a threatening letter, but it could be seen as vaxatious litigation

You can go through their complaints procedure and it might (might) lead to some compensation:

It shouldn't, but when people can't work, they miss holidays, weddings or other family events because they can't drive or hire a car abroad and it drags on for months and months then is it that unreasnable to ask why compansation isn't being paid?

For some reason firefox is not spell checking, if I have made any mistakes these that wish to please feel free to correct them!

There was a thread on a PH trucker who had DVLA troubles over medical competance wink that caused loss.
Relevance may be tangential and I can't recall if any reward was made.

Any bells ringing?

Back when I was a lot younger, I'm sure there was a strike or something resulting in huge backlogs, they changed the law so you could ride a moped if you'd applied for a licence, even if you'd not received it?

I guess the rules have changed more than a few times since then?
