£38 for a 5 minute print job on crappy plastic... i was shocked, i was expecting about £15 / £20 ... evil DVLA, is there anything they arnt trying to make a profit on ?
 
Im pretty sure you get your full licence for free now though? I had to pay for my provisional, and then again for my full.

They increased the fee for the Provisional, but made claiming a test pass free...

Yeh, when you get your provisional have a look next to the address, if there is black triangle, that means that you have already paid the increased amount and dont have to pay to upgrade from a provisional to a full when you pass.

As far as I know its all this way now, prices went up but they scrapped the second fee on passing.

Great :( More council house scroates on the roads then.

Eh? It's no cheaper, you just pay it all when you get your provisional, rather than in two lots.

If I was a more sceptical person, I'd say it was so they got their money whether you passed or not. ;)
 
If you're already complaining about the cost of the provisional,the real cost of motoring is going to be a nasty surprise...
