shithouse man, especially over the long weekend. pm me if you need to borrow the gen1 to get around a few days, you will love the b4 long time after you drive 2.2na auto lol

So i had no idea my car's rego had expired, or even cancelled for that matter until i was pulled over this evening, and upon having my plates removed from my car and being issued with a $590 fine as well as being told i need to get my car towed, the lovely policeman told me to have a good easter.


And Victoria police can't seem to understand why people hate them so much

Thats the shits, and then to be so sarcastic by saying happy easter, the rego you have over there is that like a road tax?, we get 30 days grace on our road tax over here.

so i am now without a car until I can get it all sorted out with Vicroads

That sux Ash.
How long was it out of rego?
You used to be able to re-register a car over the counter (no inspection) providing the owner details had not changed. All you needed were the old rego papers, photo ID and a RWC. Maybe this still applies?

[CodeBurn3r]

i just pay over the net. the gen1 lapsed by like a month then i realised and just paid it and all was fine.

[buzzda]

That sux, but srsly, how do you not know when your rego's due??

[skillionaire]

Having no sticker anymore will make it even harder for people I reckon.

That sux,

but srsly, how do you not know when your rego's due??

Dont know about in QLD but here in VIC they send you the sticker just over a month before and you never get a reminder letter again.

It's easy to put in the "To Do" pile and then get forgotten.

The car is unregistered the day the rego expires and cannot be driven. Used to be if the rego remains unpaid for more than 12 months then a RWC is required.
Ash will become the expert on what to do if caught driving with expired rego!!

I Pay over the phone, ususally the night before!

[robt]

Yeah I forgot once to pay for about 8 weeks. Still drove and well.......nothing ever happens down here. Also that jap video with the numbleg and the regacy win. Win!

In NSW the exp. date is put on the sticker after you pay. Everytime you wash the car and look at the sticker your reminded.

Sounds like the local gov has hit on a new way to make a few quid, if you dont remind people to pay then when its lapsed give them a nice juicy fat fine, sneeky bastards....

seriously Eric, Australia is now over the top with fines, the government doesn;t care about safety etc just revenue... if they do care about safety they are going about it in the most stupid way you can imagine. Fucking dumb nanny state oh and now they want to censor our internet?? WTF is this fucking china???

[CodeBurn3r]

it really is surprising how different each state is! you know when i was reading the thread about mobile speed cameras in NSW i was like wtf??? we have had them for years here. like NSW having to pay every year for a pink slip? and also annually for personal plates? anyway i will be sure not to forget to pay the rego now that i know its $590 fine!

Sounds like they are really taking the piss. Our government bunch of self serving dicks could'nt give a toss, their idea of road safety is to stick up more stupid road signs and impossibly huge ski jumps.. i mean speed bumps. They are bringing in a law about load exhausts soon that will cause a few problems to the ricer brigade with pipes as big as dustbins on their civics. They are setting the max at 99 decibels which is the same as the law in Japan i think.

[robt]

99db! Ha that's loud as. You lucky Irish.

Happy Easter peoples, hope y'all having a great day! Bit lethargic myself, bloody 6yo was bit excited last night and wouldn't go to sleep so the Easter Bunny couldn't come till almost 2am, then he (the EB) was back at 6.30am to put the eggs outside for egg hunt.... 3 good coffee's and I'm still struggling to hold my head up, tho my foots tapping like a motherfucker!
