"That Rego Tube is not Legal Sir"

[brimo]

In the last 28 years how many times have I been pulled over for "Just a rego check, Sir" in the car? Never.
On the bike? well I've lost count.

Well we ARE all criminals and antisocial types that need constant monitoring, special treatment and monetary levies and charges after all, arnt we??

My reg is due in 2 weeks. On the Vic Roads form -

" Directions on how to affix label "

Blah blah for cars/windscreens, then

 - For motorcycles and trailers, place the label in a special holder provided by you "

Have spoken to Vic police about this for decades, and recently. All say they would never take action over the absence of a visible label alone but it's a nice one to have up the sleeve if the customer is narky, or they are in that mood themselves. Having the label tucked under the seat or in the wallet seems acceptable, but no label at all may induce them to asking a few more questions.

I've lost count how may times I have been pulled over for License and rego checks while on the bike, I, like most others don't have an issue with it, The more illegal bikes and unlicensed riders that are put off the road is a good thing, as they cause the legit riders like us no end of bad publicity.

I was just bloody annoyed when they get out and try to flex some muscle for no apparent reason, we have people dying on our local roads, due to drunk drivers, poorly maintained cars, Drivers talking on phones, Illegal u turns, Etc, Etc.......

My bike is better maintained then a vast majority of vehicles on the road, and yet this guy wants to give me a fine (and loss of a point) for an "Illegal rego label"  not make the beast with two backsing likely!

Truly epic waste of resources, no wonder people are dying on our roads, these guys are so skewed in there Policing it's amazing, and the sad part, it's all come from the top level officers.

I've been using the 'dirt bike method' of fitting the rego label on my road and dirt bikes for 5 years now, had a few licence & rego checks and has been all good  
Sandwich the rego label between 2 pieces of clear contact, then use another strip of clear contact to hold it in place on the fork tube on the left hand side. Cheaper than the tubes and doesn't fall off.

yep on a ride last year three out of the group of about 12 lost tubes and labels
one of them still hasn't replaced his......

I wonder who you are talking about! It's replaced, just not in a tube and not affixed to the bike as yet - it's a work in progress....

Just checked the RTA website foe NSW
States that any other vehicle other than a car without a windscreen blah blah
the rego sticker should be below the number plate
hmm!! mines not wonder what the fine would be ?

What does it state about the "manner" of display?? Tube, plastic trailer type thingy, or like most States apparently, doesnt stipulate anything at all??

Sounds like some of the Plods oughta get a Manager and stop handling themselves.

i've had my S4R for 6 years now and until may this year it has never had a label on it, ever. i got pulled on mt.cootha and after a heated debate on noise, speed, tyres, and the dreaded licence and rego check. i got a ticket for not displaying the sticker because i wouldn't admit to anything else. they tape your conversations boys and girls, the three golden rules are DENY, DENY, DENY. think before you open your gob, everything they ask is designed for an admission from you in your response, they're not that bright, if you play the game they're easy to outwit, you have noticed that they have a set of questions, and a certain order they ask them in?

I'm well known for arguing with cops who power trip on me (I get along great with the rest) but I was unaware I had so much arguin' ahead of me 'cause I ride a motorbike now.  Should I be budgeting extra time on trips?

they're not that bright,

Ah yes...   Those boys (well some of them) give the rest a bad name...

I call the bad ones jury make the beast with two backsers... 

If I'm giving evidence in the Supreme or County Court, whilst delivering my evidence to the Judge, I try to make eye contact with as many Jurors as I can.   You can tell the cop haters in seconds

One bad experience with a traffic cop can turn a normal citizen into a cop hater/doubter   When I did my time in uniform (7 years... and since then 23 years in Criminal Investigation and no traffic at all) I always tried to have a positive effect with traffic offenders...  If the driver was cool and polite a warning was all that was ever required in the majority of cases.

Like all jobs there are Brian Ws out there who ruin it for the rest.   I don't even know why I'm trying to justify the actions of others...   It's a funny job that way   Ya sorta feel resonsible for tha acts of others
