What cheeses me off

I am not sure about QLD but in the ACT, to be eligible for a Seniors Card, a person must
a) live in the ACT
b) be 60 years or older
c) not in paid employment for more than 20 hours per week.
If similar in QLD, the work stipulation might come into play for JohnK.

Same as in SA until they change it with the election promise

Driving down three lane road and LH lane has some cars park so cars that drive along in the left hand lane and then just merge into the middle lane and think you will slow down and let them in and then they go back into the left hand lane. Ws

Hmmm ... that could be me. If not many cars parked in LH lane, I'd consider it a legitimate lane to use, until I can't, so merge right and then move left again.

I know sometimes 'everybody' knows that that LH lane isn't through lane and peeps zoom up it, overtaking slower middle lane, but if you don't know ...

Here in Tas, roads dept has a habit of putting 'Left lane closed' signs on a highway WAY before the actual closure, so all the good lambs here immediately merge into the RH lane, leaving the RH lane very slow and the LH lane empty for a km or two. LH lane is open for use ... what do you do?

Possibly because you have to be a permanent resident in QLD. You must have a QLD address linked to you and the address needs to be linked to Centrelink, electoral roll. Proof of rent is not accepted because you can pay rent from abroad.

A QLD DL would solve that issue.

So what if you don't drive a car but Centrelink, electoral roll, rent, daughter school all in QLD? Still have to pay $77.40 for proof of age card?

Surely proof of age is no different to passport? I remember when we were trying to get citizenship for wife they were pushing proof of age card for wife as photo ID. Why? Wife has Thai passport which is official document everywhere.

Not sure about NSW Seniors card. I'm looking for electricity discounts in QLD which was main motivator for seniors card.

I understand
It is not the proof of age per se. It is the proof of residency in QLD which the proof of age is linked to . I agree that Centerlink should be enough but that is what they want.

But would you push in front of car that was going parallel with you or wait until their was a gap - I had to swerve into the RH lane and lucky the car behind could see and stayed back. It would have been fun if we did hit because I have my new dash cam installed.
