Some of them are very heavy but all awkward to reach and push up especially as there’s usually a bar between me and the seat. Seems like something would…

Posted A V10 Form to DVLA Lately?
How long did it take to get processed and show as taxed online? My car is currently SORN as I've been unable to drive for a while.
