So this is fun - I've got a YBR sat in my garage, SORN'd. My little sister takes her CBT and I offer her the use of the bike. So yesterday, I help her set up insurance, the plan being that I would tax it today and she could go for a little ride this evening, because surprisingly enough, she can't wait. So around midday, I log onto the DVLA site and begin the process, and get a message that its not on the MID database yet. Fair enough I think, I'll wait until later. Only it now says that I must wait 24 hours before trying again. So now, despite the fact that shes insured, despite the fact that I am perfectly happy to pay the ****ing money for the tax disc, I CAN'T because of ****ing bureaucracy. And of course I could go to the post office, but for the fact its opening hours only allow the retired and the unemployed scrubs to go down there because those of us that go out to earn our keep have office hours that are the same as the post office. To top it all off, I've checked MID and its now showing the bike IS insured, so if they would have ****ing warned me up front to check MID first, that it would lock me out for 24 hours, this whole ****ing thing could have been avoided.
I'm sure I'm about to get a chorus of ignorance about how I'm overreacting and that this is all perfectly reasonable. Well I don't ****ing care. The fact of the matter is that in a few hours I get to go and look at my little sisters face while it goes from excited to disappointed. **** you DVLA.
