Well that's a good start - DVLA licence record check site down on day one

AN online service has been working intermittently on the day it replaces the paper licence counterpart as the source of driving records including penalty points.

As of today, drivers and riders are advised to destroy their paper counterparts by the DVLA. To prove their driving record to employers or hire firms they must now access the online service and print the details. 

But attempts to open the web page have been resulting in an error page.

A spokesman for the DVLA said he was looking into the matter.

For more details on the changes, see the story we did earlier today.
