My ban finished yesterday, but I still haven't had my license back from DVLA. I applied 56 days ago as I should have. On the GOV website my license status says
"You're disqualification ended on 6th Oct, you may now reapply for your license"
I assume this means they haven't even looked at my application yet.
I got super excited and got insured anyway, I have served my time and I want to drive! but I'm now worried ill be breaking the law if I drive and the last thing I need is a other ban. I have tax MOT and insurance but it seems I have no license because the DVLA are useless.
I have tried every avenue to Contact the DVLA and I cant get a response.
1. Can I drive
2. How long are the DVLA actually taking to process applications?
I am so frustrated I can't believe the DVLAs service is so bad it is such an important part of modern day living.
 
The DVLA is impossible to get hold of though. I am trying to do my own research and make my own decisions.
