Seriously? This has to be one of the most impossible to use pieces of web design I've seen in the last ten years. I honestly cannot make heads nor tails of this thing.
Driving license entitlement? Want a list of the requirements for each category? Tough! You get an interactive Windows Help-System-esque step-by-step trouble shooter to answer your question.
Exemptions? Like this one, which is what I was looking for to answer a question from a colleague Link - Looks like you're out of luck. It only seems interested in feeding you the absolute minimum amount of information.
Also seems to insist on using 28 point text and about 1/3 of the width of my monitor, which is rather infuriating at home where I've got a widescreen monitor and at work where I'm stuck in 1024*768 land so the letters are about 1/2" tall!
Seriously? How can this be called good design?
Sorry...My rant for the evening. I don't like wasting the best part of half an hour looking for something which used to take me about 30 seconds to find.

Looks like one of those pages which come up when you're trying to open website that doesn't exist.
Here's an example.

Pretty much what I thought I was being presented with when I first saw it - thought I'd clicked on a duff link!

Probably went to tender for creating the website and cheapest won.... cheap for a reason?
