Drivers in the UK Finding It Difficult To Contact DVLA during Busy Periods

Some people are reporting experiencing difficulty whilst they are attempting to contact the DVLA. They are attempting to contact the DVLA for various reasons, such as taxing their vehicle, purchasing a personalised number plate or arranging/cancelling driving tests. Previously, if you had problems attempting to communicate with the DVLA over the phone, you could simply visit your local office. There were many offices in regional areas such as Worcester, Inverness, Carlisle and Liverpool- 39 in the network in total. However, at the end of 2013, the DVLA made the decision to close all of the local offices down.

This was because most people were now going online to use DVLA services, such as renewing a driving licence or getting car tax. All DVLA services are now provided by the agency’s key office in Swansea, Wales. Centralising all the services to one location has allowed the agency to save money and to keep costs down, but that has come at a price. It is now more difficult for drivers to resolve their issues by contacting the DVLA, as it can be harder to get in touch with them. Often, drivers are put through excessive automated systems and lengthy waiting times just to speak to a person who can resolve their query.

What to do if you are having difficulty contacting the DVLA:

See if you can get help online

Much of the DVLA’s important services are now available online. This includes taxing your vehicle (following the abolishment of the tax discs), renewing your driving licence, getting a replacement logbook, placing/removing the registration of a vehicle, declaring your vehicle off road (SORN), replacing a lost driving licence and contact DVLA of a medical condition which could affect your ability to drive. The DVLA has also just launched a ‘share driving licence’ service which allows you to share details of your driver qualifications, convictions and penalty points with third parties such as employers and rental car companies. All you have to do is generate a code and share it with them.

Visit the Post Office

If you are missing the personal touch of visiting your local office, this option may be best for you. If you need to renew your driving licence, you can visit the Post Office and they will take your photograph, get your signature and send the application off for you for a small fee (including postage). You just need to take your renewal notice and photocard licence with you. If you don’t have a reminder, don’t panic because as long as you haven’t changed your name you will still be able to use the service. Find alternative numbers; If you are tired of sitting through endless automated systems and just want to speak to a human, you just need to find an alternative number which may be a less busy line than the main DVLA helpline. Try the DVLA contact number and get your query resolved.

CPR: A Must Learn Practice for Emergency Situations

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation or CPR is basically a mouth-to-mouth respiration and chest compression technique. It is a first-aid method which is performed to provide immediate aid to a person by circulating the oxygenated blood to his organs like the heart and brain in case of an emergency situation. Though, CPR is strongly recommended as a life-saving measure, you need a proper training to perform this method.

There are various risks associated with CPR training such as damage to the liver or heart, rib facture, puncture of lungs or large blood vessels and more. To avoid such risks, you need a proper training that too under the direction of a qualified instructor. Not only health care professionals, but the general public should also learn CPR for use in any emergency situations.

On a successful completion of these training sessions, you’ll get CPR Certification, which is a proof that you have acquired proper training in CPR and know how to do it properly."

Another day.... I am really starting to feel better about myself. Being "mentally" sick is so hard. You can't explain it... you can't show it... you can only feel it. And the only people that can understand are other people in pain. I tell my daughters that I love them, and if I would have known that mental illness was genetic. .. and understood... I would not have had children... that I am sorry they also suffer. I spent a lot of time with "him" today. He is truly a jerk. I think I am finally getting healthy enough to let go. I just wish I had someone to cuddle with. I know it will come... but, I really want it now.

Framework of Convention Collective Metallurgie

The leading level of negotiations is the sector or branch. Besides the major branch agreements there are also numerous collective agreements with individual firms. Collective agreements can be declared generally by binding the associated governments. In case the agreement is regional the convention collective metallurgie cadre is done with the local government.

The significance of convention collective metallurgie cadre agreements has increased considerably in recent years. This is a major reason for the higher proportion of workers who are covered by collective agreements.

The convention collective metallurgie cadre mainly can be announced and frame worked by the concerning government. It is generally the request of the negotiating partners and then applied automatically by all the companies in the sector or that particular region. Mostly the convention collective metallurgie cadre is not widespread in the industrial sector. There is no minimum wage nationally. However the convention collective metallurgie cadre enables the authority to introduce the binding of branch wide minimum wages. Where the wages dumping was unmistakably occurring without the generally binding under convention collective metallurgie cadre.

I've had a quiet day today. I hadn't planned to do anything so it wasn't a surprise.

So that I didn't sit down all day on the computer and just play, I decided to set my timer so that every 20 minutes it would go off and I would then get up and do something active for a few minutes. �It's a great way of getting the mundane chores done when feeling lazy.

I sorted out some of the junk I had stored in the cupboard on the landing. �There is less than I thought there was. I'll finish it off another time.

I think I'm finally coming to the end of all the sorting out and throwing away. �I've still got the cupboard on the wall in my bedroom to sort out, and I must also make a start soon on clearing out the sideboard. Of course the sideboard has all the photographs stored in it, which are going to take me a long time to go through.

Even after all this clearing out and throwing away I don't seem to be getting any nearer being minimalistic.

Louie and I also took a stroll along the high street after lunch. �It was quite warm for October. �I remembered to take my shopping bag. �It's the first time I've been to the shops since the carrier bag charge came in three days ago.

I walked virtually the whole length of the town and back but found nothing I wanted. �So it was into the Co-op for a couple of bits and then home.

I've been good and stuck to the 1000 calories that I alocated myself today. �I also worked out that 20% of my daily calories are taken up with my hot drinks. I must admit that was a bit of a shock. I have started to cut those down though. Today I have made sure that I have only had 5 cups of tea, one coffee, and one drinking chocolate. I have also managed to drink 1� litres of water. �If only I could keep this up every day for a few weeks, I would soon lose these extra pounds.
