Trailer Rego certificate has no detail just the chassis number & "1980 H Made Trailer" , interestingly the rego certificate for my Caravan shows "GVM 1790kg" ( i'm sure its way over that) , they are both $59.00Quote:

I just checked on VicRoads
They have no distinction on trailer size just a simple flat rate for all trailers irrespective of GTM
Fee is only $60.50
Qld is ridiculous up to 750kg is about $300,000, 750 to 2000kg is donation of a kidney. Over 2000kg is kidney and your left nut!
Yep, no issues for a Vic registered trailer and that meets all the requirements it needs to then some.
This might be of interest.
It is from the NSW Police News website and lists the offences a driver has been charged with following a single vehicle accident earlier this year.
About 1.30pm on Thursday 3 January 2019, a Toyota Prado towing a caravan was travelling on the Oxley Highway about 45km east of Walcha, when it struck an Armco railing and a tree.
The front seat passenger, a 72-year-old woman, and rear seat passenger, a 38-year-old man, sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.
The driver, a 58-year-old man, and a 38-year-old female backseat passenger, were taken to Tamworth Base Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Following investigations by police from Northern Tableland Crash Investigation Unit, the driver was charged with eight offences being:
- Do Act etc Intending to Pervert the Course of Justice,
- Dangerous Driving Occasioning Death (x2),
- Negligent Driving Occasioning Death,
- Dangerous Driving Occasioning GBH,
- Negligent Driving Occasioning GBH,
- Towed vehicle weight exceeds capacity of towing attachment,
- Towed vehicle weight exceeds maximum laden weight.
His licence was suspended, and he was granted conditional bail to appear at Tamworth Local Court on Monday 29 July 2019
Cheers, Mick.
I've learned a lot reading this thread. Thanks all.
I think it sums up how people can interpret rules differently, that includes the policeman who pulls you up for not having a 'yellow' shackle.Quote:

My box trailer comes up as manufactured in 1931 ?! I've never been game to take it up with VicRoads because it will cause a whole heap of pain......probably only a typo but it shouldn't have to comply with any ADR's !

My Van was registered as 'Year - 1900'. They used to do all sorts of strange stuff. Easy fixed when I bought it and re registered it. New VIN, they accepted my day so on year and ATM as there was no compliance plate, which wasn't needed until the mid 80's or thereabouts.
Like all bureaucracies, it depends who you talk to.
Rang the TMR a while back, when a Range Rover was listed on the rego renewal form as a Discovery. Bloke on the phone was insisting that it needed to be de-registered, inspected for any evidence of re-birthing, then a whole new rego entry created, which meant RWC inspection, etc.
Down at the local TMR office, I mentioned it to the lass behind the counter. She asked for the rego number, a few clicks later, she says "Oh, I see what's happened." Apparently in their drop-down boxes, directly above "Land Rover Range Rover", is "Land Rover Discovery", two minutes later, she said, "All fixed, the new rego papers will arrive within a week or two." Amazing!! [thumbsupbig]
FYI, rated shackles are half the price at Bunnings cf. SuperCrap. Ask me how I know. [bigsad]Quote:
