Much of this could comeunder the heading of 'what somebloke in the pub told, me' butsome of these blokes in themetaphorical pub are more thanqualified to comment on thesubject. It seems that recentlythere have been more and moreshots across the bows from VOSAor, as it's now called, the Driverand VehicleStandards Agency.government body they have toearn their keep and can't be adrain on the taxpayer – but'surplus' to me says 'money in thebank'.

Likewise at motorbikeevents, where home-brewedtrikes retain the Reliant Robin logbook long after most traces ofReliant have been engineeredout. I've also heard (third-hand –this is not gospel) about avery high-profile dragracer who had a visitThe DVSA is“It seems thatfrom VOSA officials,formed by therecently therehad his street-legalDrivinghave been morerace car inspected andStandardsand more shotshis log book revoked.Agency andacross the bowsOK, there are plenty ofVehicle andkit cars and hot rodsOperatorfrom VOSA”running around onServices Agencydubious log books – ajoining forces,glassfibre '32 sedan on a 1983though as it stated in aFord Sierra log book is pushinggovernment paper publishedthings a bit – but I suspect we allrecently, “DSA and VOSA willthink of it as a victimless crime.continue to be two separateUnless you're claiming a free taxtrading funds until April 2015disc that you're not strictlywhen DVSA will gain trading fundentitled to, which is fraud, whostatus.” I really don't like thecares?sound of “trading fund”.VOSA is, or was, an ExecutiveAgency for the Department forTransport. In a recently publishedparliamentary report, VOSA/DSAreported a £12.3 million surplusfor 2013/2014, over a target of £4million, and £1.4 million efficiencysavings over the same period.This was described as “Achievingour financial recovery a full yearahead of the original five yearplan,” as four years previouslythey were almost £50 million inthe red. It's lovely that they'reback in the black – after all, as aIt seems that the DVSA now do,and so far we've only seen thethin end of the wedge. I suspectthat many things we have been'getting away with' for yearsbecause the Police don't want towaste their time with such trivia –American-style number plates,drag radials, loud pipes and such– are about to be given a goodpoke with a sharp stick by anagency that is, when all's said anddone, self-financing.
