Bill MacL, you are not only rude and insulting, you also sound very condescending. I think Bruce is 100% right. There are so many warnings about these scams that absolutely no-one should fall for them and if they do they only have themselves to blame.

BruceC, I couldn't agree more. NEVER EVER click on email links!!

No, I agree, have never heard of either of these two and I certainly haven't had my head buried in the sand. I'm 78.

These scams happen all the time. I'm forever getting texts and emails from "mygov" asking me to verify my identty, log in to claim my refund etc. I don't bother to open them, just delete them and report them to scam watch.

Of course it's going to be optional, if you don't want a digital licence then stick to you physical licence.

I am 78 and have an exemplary driving record also. BUT as you age you don't have the reflexes you used to have when you are younger. My car also means freedom, but if I don't pass the any of the mandatory tests then it means giving up my license. These tests are not discrimination but common...

When oh when are people going to wake up. It doesn't matter how convincing these people sound over the phone, you need to hang up and verify these things for yourself. Check with your bank yourself. Don't take the word of someone on the phone!! Everything that TrudyLee said!!

I think you will find stringent rules apply to P platers. And as I said this discussion is about senior drivers. As we age, we certainly don't have the reflexes or the sight that we had in our younger years, so mandatory checks on our health etc is just common sense.

Yes, that's true, but we are talking about senior drivers here, not young, stupid drivers!!

I am a senior (78) and I have to pass the annual medical exam before my license is re-issued, I have no problem with this and also when I reach the age of mandatory driving tests I will also have no problem with it. There are too many accidents involving senior drivers. Let's face it, once we...
