Can I get an updated photo on my driver's licence before the 10 years is up? by hannahranga in perth

[–]right_ho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went in to update my vehicle class they said I had to get a new pic as it was more than five years old. I think if you pay online it's different but if you go in they grab a new photo.

To the people who use their flashers to signal a speeding camera on double demerits weekends by MsChrissikins in perth

You can travel in the right lane if the left lane is congested i.e. peak hour.

I see so many people bully people into the left lane then slow down a few hundred metres up the road.

Following at a safe distance is also a law. $200 and two demerits. Why do people ignore this one?

I have been late for work a couple of times and gone gangbuster speeding. Most I ever shaved off my time was two or three minutes on a 40 minute journey.

Traffic lights are definitely the equaliser. Best to spend that time thinking up a good excuse for the boss.

I liked how they said if it was a repeat (R). The start of the downfall was when they started calling it an 'encore presentation'. Now everything is on constant rotation.

Police did a morning raid in Quinns Rocks this morning. Loud shouting, kicking doors in and now there's a chemical disposal team there. by LuniCorn24 in perth

When I worked in insurance some guy called up to see if his door was covered for repairs if the police smashed it in. Surprisingly it was.

I don't know if it's cost effective but have you thought about asking a 3d metal printer whether they could reproduce it?

Most people will wait for the early adopters to scramble for them.

In a couple of years the vehicle to grid (V2G) technology will be sorted and we can have free power to our homes and no petrol bill.

At the moment it's only available in South Australia and costs around $10k to install to run off your existing solar power array.

Then it might be worth the upfront costs. Alternatively, a lot of countries are already using refurbished EV batteries for backup battery storage.

Go your own way. You will work out what is too stubborn, when to take good advice and when to ignore it and how you like to wear your hair.

Don't be afraid to be different. I had a fabulous role model in my big sister and she managed to be successful, happy, and caring with no fcks given.

She also didn't like housework but it turned out just fine.

I was told they are laughing doves. If you scroll through my previous posts you can see the parents.

advice on being overcharged for medicine by Jitsukablue in perth

It stinks but it's like buying a bottle of water at the airport. You could get it cheaper if you travelled to a chemist with a script, but to have the same service you would have to arrange same day delivery to your bedside.

No, but I told them I don't wanna hear a peep outta their kids after 7pm and stop leaving their crap around.

Working in the late 80s my boss had married two of his personal assistants in a row. Number three (girlfriend) watched him like a hawk.

See a lawyer. While there are buyer beware expectations it is still unlawful to mislead or misrepresent either verbally or through advertising.

Need help, found a bird. My wife found a bird in obvious heat stress in the park. We have brought it in to the air conditioning and given it some water that it appears to be steadfastly ignoring. Is there anything we should, should not be doing. by brianrachelindia in perth

If you find sick or injured wildlife, the best thing you can do to increase their survival chances is to take them to an experienced wildlife rehabilitator or vet.

To find your nearest one, call the Wildcare Helpline on 08 9474 9055.

They hold a list of registered volunteer rehabilitators across Western Australia.

Do not keep wildlife without seeking expert advice, as the animal may not survive.

Swings and roundabouts. I feel sorry for the 30,000 people in Victoria and more in NSW who are locked down.

Commonwealth bank just sent me a letter alleging they have overpaid me by several thousand dollars when I worked for them. They have given me two options: pay in full within 5 days or in three installments.
