- there certainly seemed to be more diggers with driving licences in those days (what is this thing with people not being able to drive, am sure a disproportionately small number of diggers hold a licence compared to the general population
just off topic but this situation seems to be getting worse, come on it ain't hard to pass a driving test..........................
I am guessing it has something to do with the cost, not just for the lessons and test but owning a car, insurance, parking, etc etc.....why don't employers pay for staff to take lessons if a driving licence is such an important part of the job these days? I am guessing an intensive driving course wouldn't cost much more than some of the conferences or IT training courses that staff do get sent on.....I am sure that some contractual arrangement (similar to that that bus drivers have) could be made to recompense the employer the cost, if the individual clears off (of their own volition) within a certain qualifying period.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
