dozy:
It’s very easy to knock t/c,s but in my little experience of them ( don’t think it was Beverly bell ) they do seem to be reasonable , whereas the court clerk was on about custodial sentences , the DVsa solicitor was on about lisence suspension & 2 out of 3 of the judges ( women ) looked like they’d like to pass a sentence of hanging , the t/c deemed a caution to be adequate
The same with renewing my lisense , whereas the DVSa couldn’t give a [zb] , company were no better , a phone call to the eastern t/c office had the issue sorted in mins , with a ring us if you have anymore issues .Dozy you are unlucky cant believe some of your stories. You were going to be lynched right in the middle of London.
The lisense was simply a case of there is / was a little box you ticked if you’d had some involvement with t/c / vosa if I remember right ( I had ) , so the lisense renewal was sent onto the t/c office for approval , dvla don’t tell you this until a day 2 before renewal then they tell you where it is , now when you speak to them mine should never of been sent to the t/c office as I’d already been dealt with by court / t/c , the only one that in theory should go there are the ones who’ve not been to court / before t/c etc , so I rang & I guess secatary said I’ll look , ah you’ve already been dealt with , I’ll inform dvla to process your license , so sorted by t/c offivce in mins , that’s why I say the little interaction ive had with them they been helpful , and in the t/c case sensible , does a 1 offence of 5/6 mins without a card warrant more than a caution , not in the t/c opinion , but plenty of others , DVsa solicitor wants you off the road for a month
To be honest it was a nightmare , from offence to court was 1 1/2yrs I thought theyd forgot about it , but compliance officer told me they were actually investigating me , regular down loads of truck ( you must go into a,b,c & down load truck now as they apparently didn’t believe it was a 1 off
Luckily it was !!
