Ask a silly question

Two years ago, the DVLA launched a service where motorists, with the help of Google Assistant or Amazon’s Alexa, could ‘ask’ the DVLA when their vehicle’s tax was due by providing the registration number and passing various security checks. Apparently this service has been used more than 47,000 times by over 20,000 unique users.

While most questions relate to vehicle tax, the DVLA says some users have asked slightly more unusual questions, including:

› How do you get chewing gum off a leather settee?

› How do I apply for Love Island?

› Do you know a good vegan recipe for chicken?

› Are red cars the fastest?

› What time is lunch?

› Is it going to rain in Ellesmere Port today?

› What did you think of the Bumblebee movie?

› How can I stop my flatmate drinking my milk?

› Where are my socks?

› Is this rash normal?
