Dave Hughes’ challenge after losing his driver’s license
Dave Hughes has revealed the harsh reality he’s had to face since being unable to drive.
The comedian, 52, has had his driver’s license suspended for three months due to speeding and has been forced to catch public transport everywhere he goes.
Speaking on his radio show, Hughesy Ed and Erin, on Wednesday morning, Dave revealed the challenges he deals with now that he has to travel with his kids via bus, train, or light rail/tram to take them to school and their sports games.
He recalled the moment he caught the light rail with his daughter Tess, 10, to her basketball game, when a group of high school girls boarded.
‘We’re sitting there, and then about six school girls got on and sat opposite us,’ he recalled.

‘Feet on seats, just lazing about. Just owning the light rail… I feel like not respecting [the space].
‘And then they just start swearing really loudly. I’m right there… Tess starts giggling…’
The Masked Singer judged then asked if he should have ‘turned to these girls and said “Mind your language.”‘
‘I’ve got some impressionable, primary school-aged children, girls, with me. Mind your language, you high-school hoodlums,’ he added.

Dave said in the end that he didn’t say anything to the teens and let them continue.
Back in August, the Melbourne-based personality revealed how he lost his driver’s license.
‘I’m not a drink driver, I don’t even drink,’ he said on the radio show two months ago.
‘And I’m not a mad speeder… I don’t do any drugs, don’t even do marijuana. Completely sober.

‘But, doing 46 kilometres per hour in 40 [km per hour] zones, you do that often enough, you get a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, and they’re all gone.’
Dave added that he attempted to try the ‘double or nothing method’ used in Victoria, but it was long past the time he could apply.
‘They didn’t acknowledge that I was a celebrity. I just used my voice, she knew,’ he said of the VicRoads staff member he contacted.
‘I didn’t even get a chance. Nup, not happening.’

Qld tightens driver’s licence ID rules
Queenslanders will need to provide two unique numbers on their driver’s licence to verify their identity to open a bank, internet, phone or utilities account.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the new “two-factor” verification comes after the Optus data breach in September, which has resulted in thousands of people applying for new licences over the past month.
From Thursday licences won’t be acceptable as a form of ID unless people quote the unique card number as well as the licence number.
Optus revealed the cyber attack had potentially exposed the personal data, including the Order driver’s license online without test licence numbers, of almost 10 million customers on September 23.
The state government offered to replace the licence numbers of those caught up in the breach, which could be almost 665,000 people, according to its own estimates.
The transport department, which usually processes about 30 licences a week, has received more than 170,000 applications since September 28.
Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the two-factor rules were due to be put in place next year, but had been brought forward.
“This extra security measure will mean the compromised licence number cannot be used for fraudulent activity on its own,” he told AAP in a statement.
Mr Bailey said affected Optus customers who were yet to change their licence numbers could still do so for free.
Opposition transport spokesman Steve Minnikin said Queensland had to replace 10 times the number of licences as NSW because the government didn’t opt into a state-federal verification program on time.
He said the Queensland government didn’t implement the national Document Verification Service changes on September 1.
“Today’s too-late announcement by the premier is lip service to Queenslanders whose data has been breached,” Mr Minnikin said in a statement.
“As we’ve seen all too often with this government, they’re too slow to act and now Queenslanders suffer the consequences.”
