I AM coming up to the age of 70. I was amazed to find when I applied for a renewal or extension of my driving licence, I was treated as an illegal alien by the DVLA.

I have to get a ‘professional person’ to vouch for me, as if a ‘professional person’ is more reliable than someone who earns their living by the sweat of their brow. Class distinction still applies as far as the DVLA is concerned. The pen pusher rules. So much for David Cameron’s “we’re all in it together”.
