Staying Safe Driver Refresher courses
When did you last have a refresher course for your driving? Have you kept up with changes to the road code? Do you know how ageing can affect your driving?
“Staying Safe” is a refresher course for older drivers. It is a good way to refresh knowledge and build confidence in a friendly and welcoming classroom based workshop with plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
The 3 ½ hour courses are being held in Thames (nearly sold out), Tairua, Waihi, Paeroa (sold out) and Whitianga (sold out), so be quick or miss out.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
