In NSW you have to renew your licence in person at a ServiceNSW outlet.
My only objection is that, unlike the old RTA, they no longer print out the licence while you wait, they just give you a bit of paper to carry and post the licence out to you. It’s a backward move in my opinion
I haven’t heard that phrase for a long time. “Slowly slowly catchee monkey”. It was in the BSM driving manual I got when I began learning to drive. Something to do with reversing round a corner!
