Over 60 driving curfew

... from 10pm to 5am. This has been doing the rounds on the social media rumour mill.

It doesn't seem to be true from what I can see. But I'm suspicious. Is this the govt floating a thought bubble to see the reaction?

The key to most magic tricks is to distract the audience's attention from what you're actually doing, getting them to look at something, anything, else other than how the trick is done.

Other forms of live entertainment such as theatre and even music make use of the same concept. Intentionally focusing the audience's attention not so much because they want them to be looking at whatever they're focused on, but simply to avoid the audience looking at something else.

Now if a magician, actor or a musician does that then OK, fair enough, I'm there to see the show and the deception isn't doing any harm. All good, I get it, they don't want the audience to know where the rabbit came from or to pay attention to the fact there's nobody actually playing a triangle and that bit's recorded.

When politicians use that trick however it's far more concerning.

I would agree with the premise that the over 60's should not drive 10pm-5am unless they are going to or returning from something important, like church or a brothel.

How about the pub after closing time. It may take a while to get the correct bearings for a home ward trip.
