A simple-to-use government website? Never!

Still getting everything organised for my road trip, it was pointed out by my mother that I needed a European Health Insurance Card - the replacement of the E111 form. Expecting all kinds of beauracracy and fearing I'd probably left it too late, it was nice to see you can apply online and receive it within 7 days. The form was simple enough to fill out and it was all done in a couple of minutes. The only oddity I noticed is that the code seems to have the page three times in slight variations, presumably switched by JavaScript. Not so sure how well that'll be read by screen readers. Now if only there were such simple forms for things like getting a tax disc for your car or other things that generally require a trip to the Post Office.
