It's not really a hot take though is it? Many people are suffering from the inadequacies of the dvla. It's just not good enough, and that's putting it politely.
The backlog is caused by a strike. Workers are on strike because conditions during the pandemic were so loose someone died after an outbreak at the DVLA. The Union and the department for transport agreed resolutions to the strike twice. Both resolutions were torpedoed by the Minister Grant Shapps out of political spite. That’s the same Grant Shapps who blamed hauliers for shortages and has caused panic buying.
Instead of blaming the people who work and live in the same city as us, why aren’t we asking more of the people who took the political decisions that have left us in this mess?
