registration stickers scrapped

[Chucaro]

in WA, that is a very good idea and a save of few dollars that will be good for other purposes...........radar traps

The news are HERE

[dullbird]

that's got to be better for the environment.....good move I say as long as you can still provide proof to a prospective buyer that you have rego. I'm assuming that you should get a receipt that you can do that with

one would imagine you would still get rego papers as proof of payment. They may just not have the sticky bit on them.

Bugger with my english...I am

They say....
....bid to save $2 million over four years in printing and postage costs,.........

and then

”People will still be sent an account to pay their registration but they will no longer be required to display registration stickers,”

Where is the saving in postage

I hope they do it in NSW. I put my new rego sticker on Basil, the series II the other day, and it fell off within 15 minutes. Now stuck on with sticky tape.

The highway patrol in NSW, and possibly elsewhere, have the automatic number place recognition system. Detects unregistered/uninsured cars within seconds.

No doubt, as well as being able to receive your rego papers by mail, you could elect to have them sent electronically, thus saving postage costs.

So now the local councils will have to issue all the parking Regulations Officers telecommunications devices to know when a car is registered and to know what tickets to issue. So what one branch of government will save on will be spent ten fold acquiring and maintaining the technology by another level of government.

Real savings for us taxpayers there.

Doubt it. They only dish out parking blisters. If a car displays an expiredregistration label, does not mean the car is unregistered. Regardless, with on-line renewal, no stamp or imprint is affixed to the label. So the shonks could just peel the label off, stick it on, and go about driving. They wouldn't look twice. Council rangers don't have access to the RTA (NSW) for rego checks AFAIK - if they did, it would be like letting loose a kid in a candy shop with some of the belters I've seen issuing pills.

Most unregistered/unisnsured vehicles are detected whilst being driven. Funnily enough, a lot of those are company directors etc in their BMW's or Mercs, who are blissfully unaware that their personal assitant forgot to renew the registration the week before...
The next are usually those who couldn't care less about the consequences, and are driving disqualified anyway. I dare say, in the economic times, there will be more and more unregistered vehicles on the road.

So now the local councils will have to issue all the parking Regulations Officers telecommunications devices to know when a car is registered and to know what tickets to issue. So what one branch of government will save on will be spent ten fold acquiring and maintaining the technology by another level of government.
