Colorado drivers accuse out-of-state police of license plate profiling Since Colorado legalised the recreational use of marijuana, drivers from the state are reportedly being hounded while driving in other states, being pulled over by the police on a far greater level than before the law changes regarding marijuana. One man has been so disturbed by his experience that he is suing the state of Idaho. 69 year old Darien Roseen, retired vice president of a billion dollar company claims he wa

In an effort to centralise services, the government are combining the DVA based in Coleraine, with the DVLA based in Swansea. This will bring the DVA into line with the DVLA with extra services that were introduced in Britain in 2006. So what differences will Northern Ireland drivers see when this change happens? They will be able to tax their cars online or over the phone. There will also be more Post Office branches offering car tax services, bringing the total number to 175. Drivers wh

Paper tax discs have been around a long time. They were first introduced in January 1921, and have been a legal requirement ever since, displayed on the front windscreen of your vehicle. However, this is all about to change. From October this year, there will be no more paper tax discs issued. Sadly, you will still have to pay for your tax, they haven't abolished that part of the system, but you won't have a disc to display. All the records will be stored electronically with the DVLA, so a q

The eyes of the media are currently on the royal couple William and Kate and their little bundle of joy Prince George. So far their trip has been a massive success having visited a baby's play group and mixing in with other babies born around the same time as the little Prince. The chubby cheeked Royal blended in well with the other babies and stamped his authority quite quickly grabbing the biggest toy he could find and crawling about confidently among his peers. This is the first tim

Harley Davidson owners are notoriously proud of their motorcycles and are often part of fan clubs which exist all over the world. Many Harley Davidson owners have personalised registrations for their prized possessions and here at Speedy Reg we find many owners go for HOG registrations (the nickname which the Harley Davidson goes buy). If you own a HOG and you have always wanted a personalised registration then why not go for something with your initials or your name at the beginning
READ MORE →Cheap DVLA registrations
You can choose from a great a selection of great DVLA number plates for a very low price. You can pick and choose your letters and numbers so you will have an ability to find exactly what you are looking for. Be wary however that these are age related plates that show the date of issue and so you are not legally allowed to have a plate on your car that makes your car appear to be younger than it actually is. You are not limited to a single year though so you can always choose an older regis

Easter is the most important festival in the Christian Calendar as it marks the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Easter story lies at the heart of the Christian religion because the whole foundation of the Christian religion is based on the sacrifice that God made by giving his only son up to die on the cross to clean the world of their sin. Nowadays Easter has become extremely commercialised and like another Christian festival (Christmas) people begin to forget the true meaning

Silver Screen icon Doris Day turns 90 today. The star of Calamity Jane, Love Me or Leave Me and Midnight Lace also had an excellent music career and sang many over the soundtrack songs for her film roles. In more recent years she has pretty much stayed away from the spotlight but has released one or two albums. Because of this withdrawal from the spotlight many have come to believe that she had passed away, however she is very much alive. An avid animal rights activist she now liv

After passing my driving test my instructor turned and said to me: “Now is the time you learn to drive.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time, but three weeks later I was involved in a minor collision on a roundabout and realised that although I had passed my test, I still had a lot to learn. You should never be complacent about driving: The second you sit behind the wheel of a car you are in danger and the only way to improve, is to drive regularly, be aware of everything
READ MORE →Tax discs to be replaced
Several weeks ago we told you about vehicle tax discs no longer being issued by the DVLA. Since this news there has been further developments in the DVLA that instead of displaying tax discs you will instead display a bar code which traffic wardens and police can scan to identify if your vehicle is taxed or not. As well as this you will be able to scan your disc in order to re-tax your vehicle when you need to. The DVLA believe this will make life a lot easier for both the the public
