It's just you.

The DVLA doesn't like you.

It likes everyone else in Britain; thinks they are great in fact. There's a party for 69999999 people this weekend, thrown by the DVLA. Guess who is the one UK resident not invited.

It's throwing a 503 Temp Unavailable error. These are server errors so, while it might be intermittent and thus not doing this for everyone, it's definitely got issues.

https://isup.me is great for checking if it really is down or not.

Ha Ha Ha, this did make me laugh.

It was down for me earlier when I tried to change something on my insurance and it was saying ‘vehicle not recognised’. Turned out the DVLA website was the issue.

Are you bringing the crisps? Can’t remember what we all agreed.
