What are the holes in my theory? And I don't mean responses like '...there are no cars in Qld that are registerable...'

Put your theory to the registration authorities and see what they say.......

Other people could drive your vehicles so it's not just how many family members there are. The CPS scheme at least allows significantly reduced rego for limited use vehicles.

The other option for your '20 Land Rovers' is to have one registration and move the plates to the vehicle you're using, someone up the road from me seems to do this !

As for insurance - Years ago in the UK Norwich Union had a 'Rider Policy' for motorcycles. The rider was insured for any motorbike they owned.
I regularly had between 2 & 6 bikes on this scheme.
Then they stopped the policy, turned out that for every pound they took in payments they were paying out two pounds in claims !!

You rich graziers should just pay full rego for all your vehicles [thumbsupbig] - you can afford it.

Are you suggesting only worm farmers should have farm rego?

Worm Farms - Bunnings Australia
For under two hundred bucks, anyone can be a primary producer. [biggrin]

Years ago a mate of my brother's brought some my sibling's wine down to the old family house to be put in the cellar.

This guy came from a wealthy NSW farming family and was driving the 'hand me down' Merc.

After getting all the cases of wine out of the back seat and boot I noticed an old, but still packaged garden hose in the latter.

'What's that for ?' I enquired.............. his response: 'So we can claim it as a fire fighting vehicle'. [thumbsupbig][biggrin]

Here is an update from VicRoads re: the CPS "Red Plate" changes that have been implemented.
Apparently it was sent out in October, but I have only just received a copy.

Sorry about having to turn your monitor on its side, but it's the only way they would load.


Cheers for now,
Mick.

It really does sound like we have great bunch of like minded people looking after this scheme. It has to be one of the most successful things vicroads has ever introduced. It sure has put a large "vintage/classic" fleet of cars back onto the roads :arms::thumbsup::banana::banana:

What was the bot about 15 year old vehicles being put on the WOVR? Didn't know that was a proposal - there would have been pitch forks on the steps of Parliament house if they'd have tried that I should think.

Not taking into account the small percentage that don't own a car or can't drive, that means there are a lot more cars on the road than people to drive them - so you tax the vehicle, not the person - economics 101. Would love to see it change but it never will. The other point that could be made is the vehicle need to be tracked for road worthy purposes, etc - which is true in NSW but you could still have a plate on a car and have it 'registered' but only have to pay the insurance for TAC, etc once as a driver - I'll keep dreaming...

Your dreams might come true in a fashion, if electric cars become popular, so they will have to collect the lost fuel excise via a mileage fee/tax.
