Hi Graham.
In N.S.W. after 80 you have to do a driving test every two years and a medical every year, it's to make sure we don't drive like the young idiots who are on the Roads these days.

So much for the rules.
But as a volunteer driver for the Health center I have to have a medical every two years and a police check as well
