**DO NOT DONATE £ AFTER SIGNING!** We the undersigned feel the DVLAs £20.00 "Picture update" fee is an outrageous "Stealth Charge" on the UK, who have already paid the license fee! We understand the potential need to update photos, as the license is used as a form of ID, and also SOME peoples features MAY alter in time due to accidents, cosmetic surgery, etc, but feel the extorsionate £20.00 fee should NOT be payable by the holder, as it is the DVLA who request this minor admin change! We ask that this fee is now SCRAPED, and that low income families, the elderly, disabled, and those on income support who do not have £20.00 spare are considered along with the general population who are already taxed to the hilt at every avenue to run a car in the UK! ** DO NOT DONATE AFTER SIGNING. NO FUNDS GO TO THIS CAUSE OR TO MY CHARITY. ANY DONATIONS GO TO THE WEB HOSTING COMPANY.**
I am currently drafting a formal letter to the Transport Select Committee to challenge the justification for this administrative charge. I have requested a meeting with representatives from the DVLA to discuss how this fee disproportionately impacts low income drivers. Expect a summary of their official response as soon as it arrives.

The reach of this petition has now caught the attention of a national transport correspondent. I am currently preparing a briefing document to present their editorial team with the evidence regarding these administrative costs.
