Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: JayJay on October 18, 2015, 11:35:57 PM Interesting. I am sure a Class Action will be brought. Legal companies are always looking for cases like this because they can result in massive rewards (for the lawyers of course) if they are successful.
I empathise with the man in the piece. I would be really stuck if I hadn't got my car. Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: BikerGran on October 18, 2015, 11:42:15 PM Since the opticians were emplopyed by the DVLA I don't see that they have much wriggle room.
Specsavers are the company that got my prescription so wrong - even after I went back and got them to test me again - that I was having to use my reading glasses for walking about and even for driving! Shouldn't have gone to Specsavers............ Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: spanners on October 18, 2015, 11:44:12 PM ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, SORY CANT READ THIS,,,,,,,,,

Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: kapri on October 19, 2015, 09:55:03 AM DVLA truly are truly a law unto themselves and ( virtually) answerable to no one :(
Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: oldmetalhead82 on October 19, 2015, 10:48:22 AM We went to Specsavers last time, i got fed up going back so gave up in the end, on the other hand the wifes were spot on ! Anyway went to Boots in the last fortnight and they got it right first time for both of us and they were a lot cheaper.

Anyway went to Boots in the last fortnight and they got it right first time for both of us and they were a lot cheaper. I found it the other way around. This time I am going to go to Vision Express who I have always been happy with prescription wise but then get my glasses on line. Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: poprodder on October 19, 2015, 11:18:06 AM DVLA truly are truly a law unto themselves and ( virtually) answerable to no one :( speechless kev, seems like they can do as they like, and NO ONE can stop them. when will it end. Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: stinkey on October 19, 2015, 11:21:25 AM DVLA truly are truly a law unto themselves and ( virtually) answerable to no one :( surely they aren't the LAW ? Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: kapri on October 19, 2015, 12:20:42 PM No, they AREN'T the law and often make changesto Policy that have no foundation in Statue law whatsoever. However no one seems to want to challenge them and those that have bothered in teh past had to have deep pockets as DVLA WILL take it all the way to court rather than lose face even when they know they are wrong :(
Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: BikerGran on October 19, 2015, 03:42:19 PM That's the time when a class action is called for, then everyone can get together to pay for the legal representation! But people in general are too williong to lie down and roll over and let others get away with sruff - that's why they do it.
I always say, there's not enough complaining goes on! Title: Re: Motorist's Banned in error Post by: kapri on October 19, 2015, 04:21:59 PM 100% Bobbi ,I don't do lieing down , been like it all my life not JUST a grumpy old man thing ;)
