Judy Tieu of Service NSW attended a recent meeting of the PSA CPSU NSW Retired Associates. “Ms Tieu took us through the rules regarding senior drivers, as well as other services available to older people in our state,” said Chair of the Retired Associates, Dave McKeough.

Ms Tieu outlined the processes of taking a test to keep a licence.

“She recommended taking a lesson or two to iron out any bad habits,” said Mr McKeough. “Your grandkids will be the most up to date with road rules and are a good source of information before you take a test.”

The group was told if a senior driver fails a test, they get two more attempts “unless it was very dangerous driving”.
“You can apply for a modified licence if you fail three times,” said Mr McKeough.

Ms Tieu also took participants through the Service NSW Savings Finder package, which outlines how seniors can cut their bills.

“Presentations such as these are a reason members leaving the workforce should remain members of the PSA CPSU NSW Retired Associates,” said Mr McKeough. “Our regular meetings are not only a great way to keep in contact with old friends, they can feature excellent presentations like Ms Tieu’s.

“Once a proud unionist, always a proud unionist.”
