Yes. On my licence it states "corrective lenses".

I got 29 out of 30. I didn't know I could travel for 100m in a "special use" lane. I don't even know what one is! Do we have them in SA?

I don't think we have them. Maybe a bus lane or two, but they are not common.

VIC ROADS State Exemption for seat belts
Exemptions

There are some circumstances in which a person may be exempt from wearing a seat belt, such as when the driver is reversing the vehicle, or is engaged in the door-to-door delivery or collecting goods or garbage and is travelling
 under 25 km/h.

Seems stupid no Australia wide rules, what you might be able to do in your home state is wrong in another, you get pinged, you say I didn't know.
The court says ignorance is no excuse for the law.

not interested, so I wont take it.....I drive using the cdf method

25, but then I learned to drive in another country.

27 Hoped I'd do better than that. Just goes to show we could all do with a refresher now and then.
