Learners Permit arrived in the mail yesterday (hideous photo) and with it three pieces of interesting information. The fact that two have absolutely nothing to do with driving is, I suppose, offset by the fact that the cost to the government is minimal.
But wait, the infomation is really valuable…
The Deafness Foundation advises “ALL WOMEN” that Rubella “*causes deafness and blindness in the unborn child*” — thank goodness the born child can hear and see!
But it gets better…. I bet you did not know that since December 1, 1999 it has been illegal to travel in a car boot without a seat belt!
And, according to Vic Roads this is one of the most significant changes implemented by the State Government (since 1999)
And finally, what is the *Floral Emblem* of Victoria? Sorry, if you don’t know you’ll just have to wait for your licence renewal letter to find out. You should be safe since Vic Roads haven’t changed the wording on the letter for the last eight years.
p=. Gumpy old man? YOU BETCHA
