Coughing & Sneezing into your Elbow helps minimise risk of bugs

Sandra from Mount Roskill

Coughing and sneezing into a tissue doesn't stop the germs getting on your hands.
Coughing and sneezing into the elbow can really help reduce the spread of germs by not getting them on the hands, and greatly reducing the risk of spray spreading around onto other people. Obviously keep washing hands and drying thoroughly but this is not possible to do when out and about. Never cough or sneeze into tissue or hands.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
