Good bloody riddance.

About time. The article only mentions "cars" but I assume that means motorcycles as well.

Finding somewhere to mount the bloody ugly things has always been a problem.

From the issues paper (http://www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/129616/Issues_Paper_-_Review_of_Registration_Labels_for_Light_Vehicles.pdf (http://www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/129616/Issues_Paper_-_Review_of_Registration_Labels_for_Light_Vehicles.pdf)):


Wonder how many of those were for motorbikes?  It's a nice little earner - that's over $1m.

Looks like we are included, though I'm not sure about Goldwings.   [cheeky]

From the old RTA

1.2 Scope of review
The review is concerned with registration label regulatory requirements for light
vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) up to 4.5 tonnes. These vehicles
represent more than 97 per cent of the 6.1 million vehicles registered in NSW in
the 2010-11 financial year. Vehicles covered by this review include, but are not
limited to, passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and some trucks, buses and trailers.


Surely these Leadwings are over 4.5 tonnes GVM?







                                      Mmick

It will certainly be good to not have to bother putting this thing on the bike(s) anymore.
It really doesn't serve any purpose other to be non colour coded to the bike each year.

yeah dont worry it will still be a nice little revenue earner.  here in SA the traffic cameras and traffic monitoring cameras are hooked in to the registration database - forget to pay your rego - $357 fine...

mind you I do wonder what happens on a bike as most cameras are front on....

been scraped here for a while...
Just read the other day that most people want them back because they dont have to remember whe to renew!

Great news [clap],will have to think about what to do with a used rego tube ???

I'm going to write a note and put it in the tube to remind me to renew my rego once a year... as apparently, this appears to be the biggest concern out there atm

I bet if half of those people had stickers and weren't required  to fit them, wouldn't bother, and the rest would do the same the next year.

you don't get stickers for your land rates, water bill, power bill,phone bill.
And we seem to manage to pay those [roll]

The Bill in the mail  about 4 weeks before due and a reminder a month later. what do they want? ???

Just write it on the windscreen with a permanent marker ,the rego renewal date never changes , no pleasing some people, [bang] [bang]





 

i havent stuck a rego sticker on a bike or trailer for about 10 years

so no change really  [laugh]

Very good J5, it is a bit of a waste of an item to attach to your bike or trailer.

It does confuse me also Rob that people need a sticker to remind them to pay it.
The info behind the story was that there are many more people risking not paying their rego because there are no stickers in place now, well in WA and SA and some people are calling for them to be bought back.

That wouldn't be too hard to police, and nip it in the bud,with a check of the data base, look at the unpaid regos, and do a few spot checks i know time consuming, but when people are aware off that happening would surely reduce the unpaid regos. or is that to simple for the rta to work out  :P

In this third world country (Philippines) they have been abolished for years........

None here.....

Not so third world after all.....  ;D   [thumbsup]

Yep here in SA people wanted them back - but the odd thing is that you get a reminder notice when your rego is due - then they send you a receipt when it is paid - go figure...like I said the traffic cameras are hooked in to the registration database so it is a lot easier for people to get caught now than the old system...

In the revenue state (victoria) they'll never scrap 'em. 

Doesnt matter that they're an irrelevant, antiquated relic. 

We all know that when  [leo]  pulls you over and asks "is this your vehicle?"  he already knows to whom its registered (or not).  But in VIC I'm predicting rego labels will remain. 

If they abolished 'em then how they gonna book you for not displaying it... or for displaying it but all rolled up in a tube... or sideways... or  [bang] [bang]

the real problem is if you rent a car or drive a company car then you will be the one responsible for
driving unrego

true story
a workmate driving his personal company van

he had changed over all his details at the rta
but his business was obviously under his business name so that was missed in the address chance
so the rego papers went to his old house not long after he moved

so with all the moving and busy life it was missed


along comes the police and pulls him over

smart arse senior copper gets him out of the van and round to the windscreen and points at the windscreen and says whats that ?
he replies its a crack in the windscreen but isnt in line of sight so it is ok
he replies no that sticker
he looks and says ahh yeh , but i havent got the rego papers , cant understand it
the rego had expired 2 days prior
a bit of too and fro and he realises the rta error in address change over

copper continues carrying on about he is the driver , driving that vehicle everyday that he should know
when the rego expires

by now poor josh is wound up and had a gutfull

he asks copper , is that your police car ? yes
do you drive it everyday ? yes

do YOU know when the rego expires ??? ahh no

2 younger coppers controlling fits of laughter watching senior guy being made a fool

he cops $400 odd in fine and on his way unhappy for the fine but happy for giving one back to the cops

Good story, very funny. Shame he still got fined but I guess it was always going to happen.

You mean we are meant to display them on our bikes  ??? you learn something new every day  8)

Sorry orifice'r my lable holder must have just broken off  [cheeky]

I'm actually thinking of leaving mine on..........with a little note inside to  [leo] just in case he bends down and has a look something like

"OINK OINK" or " I SMELL BACON "

Tassie is usually a few years behind these kind of developments but it seems we may get the change here soon as well.
