    Registering MVs

    I didn't waste my breath on Swansea, I left it to the local DVLA to sort it out, I usually find them very helpful. I did consider leaving it on Disabled, think of the advantages that could bring!

    Registering MVs

    The only problem I've had with the GMC is Swansea kept sending tax discs saying disabled even though they kept being told the correct class by my local DVLA office.
