It's ok as it's not for personal gain from the poster i.e. Energumen (unless it turns out he represents the DVLA
)
It is posted as general interest with no personal gain involved.
But yes, it does look 'spammy'
By and large the following covers our rules on advertising:
No commercial posts in the forums. This is a post where someone with an interest in a company, business, or product promotes a product or service and provides a link, email address, or phone number for the purpose of selling the product or service.
I hope that clarifies things for everyone.
cheers,
