Well it's about 'looking the part', how many coppers are going to check out an old fart in an landy who looks to be registered. And if they do check it out, because of the countries within a country that we live in...they don't have instant access to interstate records of registration. Becomes all too hard as they watch you drive by!! [thumbsupbig]Quote:

Number plate recognition only picks up unreg. no alarms will ring. Even a copper running a check wouldn't know one trailer from another. For instance, I once owned a 'brown' trailer according to the rego, I painted it blue. Never picked up for it.Quote:

Not that I endorse lawbreaking, just playing devils advocate.... Personally I would put it on another trailer and tow it home.
I got caught a few months back with my step fathers (my boss) trailer. Unregistered blah blah, I said to him I'm glad you pulled me over I've been telling him for 10 years somones gonna get caught. Still fined me $160 but he let me go home with it. Next week the SF forked out for a new registered tandem[emoji106]I'm very wary of running the gauntlet now. To many risks involved fines, insurance, no TAC and more fines. Got away many of times for years with cars and trailers before that but since then I just don't risk it.Quote:

Yeah, easy with a plate from another registered trailer - I have friends in NSW who all own trailers but share a plate around as needed - never been pinged.
Can't condone breaking the law but I'm sure it would work... 😇
Yep just like clubs and there harleys sharing the same stock exhaust to get a roady then there noisy arse one straight back on.Quote:

Lots of disinformation in this thread.
FWIW, I've just been to Sydney and back this weekend. Towed a trailer. The Hume is full of coppers on the NSW side of the border.
Trying to catch the West Coast supporters dodging a breatho on the Nullabor on the way home?Quote:
