DVLA stitch up

Typical DVLA - sneaking things out...

>

> http://www.dvla.gov.uk/public/consult/veh_inspec/vi_summary.htm

>

> They're doing a 'public consultation' (without telling

> anyone, as usual).

>

> PLEASE everybody interested in being able to continue

> to engine swap, tube frame or significantly visually

> alter motor vehicles in the UK go to the DVLA web site

> and go through the nausea of completing thier online

> submission - also please request a copy of the

> consultation paper. Doesn't matter if you don't read

> it - they judge strength of public feeling on the

> number of them that the send out.

>

> basically they are trying to screw anyone moddifying a

> car, and particularly those of us moddifying older

> cars (not allowing fitting of more modern components

> without having to re-register on a Q plate, having to

> go the SVA for your mods every time, etc.)

>

> BTW kit means kit car built to original kit car spec

> not fitting a body kit.

>

> Deadline is 19th July, they're sneaked this on

> us without any anouncement.

>

> ALSO: please copy the link and post it on any other

> suitable web sites. The consultation list they have

> for this excercise includes such bodies as "The

> Christian Road Safety League" and RoSPA and the

> Vehicle Scrap Dismantlers Association, and not anyone

> to do with modifying cars or the moddified vehicle

> industry - need as much support for this as possible.
