Wow! A government helpline that actually works!
I’m not normally one to get excited by things the government does to try and “help” us poor subjects - usually it becomes a completely worthless fudge - just look at NHS Direct and HIPs for proof.
But I have to give credit where credit is due and say that the phone service for renewing your car tax is just brilliant. It only takes a few minutes (unlike the half-hour queues in the Post Office) and best of all you don’t even need to find your MOT and insurance - they are checked automatically. Yay!
If you didn’t already know, phone 0870 850 4444 when you get your V11 reminder through the post.
