No at £160 for 3 years thats only £53.33 a year well below the national average it's probably written on loo roll with pencil

There are a zillion threads on TDO re this issue.

For drivers licenses only the cost of process can be charged.

It doesn't cost £160 for a piece of plastic and paper, and a half hour (at worst) of LO's time.

our LO says that it can take up to 3 days of work to do all the necessary checks before issuing a license. :wink:

Their job is to licence, not charge because the owner/driver is making a profit, if thats right they will want to charge more pro-rata if you earn more, and they add on the cost of a CRB when due
