Digital Driver License
Following a successful trial in Ballarat, digital driver licenses are now available in the my VicRoads app to all Victorian full license holders. The digital license will be available to learner drivers and p-platers by 2025.

Yeah, something we've found over this trip is that C roads & caravans often aren't a real good mix! :'(

& even the A roads aren't always something to write home about!

Fire sale time now the early adopters are stuck with them or copping awful depreciation while Toyota hybrid owners are chuckling-

Early days for yours truly when an old millionaire horse trader gave me some profound advice that stuck-

Son you can sell anything if the price is right even if you have to pay somebody to take it away and that's called rubbish  :cup:

westvic, I don't think people have much play money or they have plenty to choose from.

If it's still here when I sell my old dear, I'll be all over it like a rash........it looks great!!

My limited use (1000 km year) agreed value policy with Shannons with roadside assist ($60) included went from $621 to $840 over the past 2 years.

Now with Enthusiast Motor Insurance for $325 per annum, but no roadside assist yet.

Must admit I ducked the loyalty tax hike this time around with the fourby and found even cheaper than I was paying with AAMI-
https://www.msn.com/en-au/money/personalfinance/same-car-same-conditions-twice-the-price-why-has-your-car-insurance-gone-up-so-much/ar-BB1mgpL6
So much for the AAMI hoojah about my discount for being a platinum old fart or some such although no young punk under 30 is covered with Budgetdirect now or they're stealing it anyway.

Interestingly the stats put a $690 average extra hit on EV over ICE and some insurers are bailing out of EV cover altogether although to some extent that's 'computer on wheels' taxation as the article notes with costly repair prices.
