WOW Just beat the bastards.
WOW Just beat the bastards.
Just saw on the news that the Victorian government are going to increase the cost of drivers licences.
The reason given was that due to the downturn in housing sales stamp duty they need to raise it from somewhere,
yer why not slug the bloody motorist .............AGAIN.
The bad news.
A 3 year licence will go from $50 to $70.
A 10 year licence willgo from $170 to 240.
The good news.
Mel and I both renewed ours for 10 years in September.
Mels was due in Sept. mine in Oct. so we paid both at the same time.

They'll probably cancel your last birthday for being a smarty pants Al You know the govt doesn't like being beaten when it comes to screwing out the last $$ Either that or they will call you in at yr 9 and put you through the driving test from hell in an attempt to save face

Just renewed mine, I see they have given me a 25% discount for having a 'clean' licence for three years. Effectively they are fining people again, on top of the heavy price for a speeding ticket.

Re: WOW Just beat the bastards.
well Brian, I felt like retiring the Shopping Trolley BBQ, and relaxing in my Shopping Trolley wheel chair. Hi John and Shirley,we're in Tassie until end of Summer, when we'll do the usual and head North for the Winter. I'm sure well catch up with you and Shirley some time. We're heading to Darwin in August, then back to WA.

Whitfield? Ok, I'll bite. I searched and found that there is a Ewe there, and Norman asked for further details. Can't find any more. Googled the location, shouldn't we be further North by Easter
