noticed a post in here a week or so ago, saying that rego labels in WA
are to be dispensed with. good idea....got my NSW renewal a few days
ago, and it informs me that "label not required to be receipted when
renewed on line or over the phone" begging the question what`s the use
of the thing`s ? since the cop can get all the info. he needs from the
plate. maybe, it`s because, in NSW (aka the state of corruption)
somebody with a mate(s) in high places is making a motza out of the
printing?.....whodathunkit...

Oh? they musta changed it - used to have to have them receipted, my
last NSW one was last year.

Well, if they don't glue on right meybe they had a budget cut :-)

I've gotta work out what QLD laws are on them - not yet looked.

I went a few years without even bothering to stick them on until a
friend
noticed and mentioned he knew someone who got a "Ahhh hum?" from
an over observant cop. If mine fell off I'd put it in my glove box and
they
would have to ask to see it. My label does not even mention half of
what
it should including make/model. Useless things.

QLD labels get a "slogan", which needless to say rhymes with  - you

The QLD one will have the VIN on it, and should also have the make/model
and colour of the vehicle
listen to the Police feqs and you will hear them doing VIN checks all
the time
it may not be such a big deal for most people
but it's the low life sector checks where they are very useful

sure, but they have to stop the vehicle to eyeball the vin, and they
would read it off the plate, not the label....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  the NSW one has expiry date, make,plate no. and vin.all of which can
be checked via radio. if they (the cops) do a plate check and get no
match, they are going to stop the vehicle and go right over it (and
driver)the vin no.will be on the id plate..imho the label is redundant.

I can't recall the last time I had to go to the registration branch to renew

I have done it all over the internet with BPay
The only time I had to go there, is to change details of ownership or

If your hulix is still registered in NSW after the end of Friday next
week, it will be subject to the new raising and lowering rules, which
the 2" spring lift plus larger diameter tyres won't pass.

Then again, as long as you don't drive it in NSW, there shouldn't be
a problem...

It's not likely it will be registered in NSW ever again although
will likely take a day trip or two across NSW border when it is
regoed here.

NSW rego due end of Sep, so thought I'd get my money's worth
out of that first. Reminds me gotta find my QLD Cust Ref # so I
can pay for my new rego plates I had reserved for me. Again at
$2295 that can wait a bit closer to the time too.

sh.t the plates are worth more than the vehicle

By about 2 grand. Still, you've got to pay a premium if you want to drive
around with "FUKWIT" as your rego plate number.

Number? assuming decimal, NAN Idiot. However if you want to make it
one you would get:

"FUKWIT" == 958356389
My plate == 1059139221

Don't think either would fit.

"FUKWIT" in Vic format would be cool to flip into place when I knew
you were driving behind me though :-)

Which raises a question I wouldn't mind cleared up if anyone knows:

Okay, so lets assume the above situation - modified suspension/tyres -
100% legal and registered in QLD. You drive into NSW after the new rules
come into force, technically, can you be defected?

I assume NOT... but then it's not wise to assume anything these days...

The answer *should* be that it is not defectable in NSW, but if they
really wanted to play pedantic, if the vehicle is modified after
31st July, it could be argued that it doesn't meet the NSW rules for
the date that it was done...

Of course, after Friday it won't be possible to transfer vehicles
that don't meet the new NSW rules into NSW registration.

I don't think they have any right to defect vehicles in NSW that are
registered (and pass inspection) in other states. Likely open a whole
can of worms doing so.

I'm more worried about a NSW regoed vehicle in say QLD. RTA own the
rego of that vehicle therefore are responsible for right to display
NSW
plates. QLD police might be expected to uphold whatever NSW
regulations
are. What are insurance issues? InsCo could say they don't care which
state you were driving in when you crashed and injured someone, the
vehicle was still defective under it's home state registration.

Meybe I should do something before next Friday.

If they had no labels they would not be able to fine you for not
displaying it or displaying old one.

Got caught with that a few years ago
I had three labels on the windscreen and the copper booked me for displaying
an out of date label

It started in 2004, with our "WA GOVT" plated vehicles, we became
exempt from displaying a rego sticker.

Rego labels in WA haven't had any vehicle-specific details or even
serial numbers for more than a decade.

You'd still get fined if you didn't stick the departmental
advertising on a window.
