DVLA announces new service for first time drivers

That sounds like a significant improvement in the licencing process! Allowing provisional drivers or first-time drivers to apply online could indeed streamline the process and make it more convenient for applicants. The ability to set up an account and track orders online with the DVLA could simplify the administrative aspects of obtaining a licence.

Additionally, the option to choose your own photo when reapplying for a 10-year license is a nice feature. It adds a personal touch to the licence and allows individuals to have a photo they are happy with.

The vehicle tax reminders offered by the DVLA are also a helpful service, ensuring that vehicle owners are reminded in a timely manner to renew their tax, thus avoiding potential fines or penalties.

Overall, these updates and services from the DVLA seem like valuable additions that could benefit both drivers and vehicle owners. And yes, for those seeking their first car, it's always good to have resources available for guidance and support especially from Simon Shield Cars.
