StevepGT3 Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 Just got a letter from Vic Roads that one of the cars is unregistered,checked the Rego file and sure enough not there.There is no way that I could have misplaced the renewal, so the mongrels didn`t send it or it vanished into the time space continuum,however that would have mattered jack shit had I or the wife been pulled up for driving an unregistered vehicle.I have now put all my rego`s into my calendar alerts on the phone a day before they are due so that I don`t get caught out again.

spiller Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 We don't have stickers anymore in SA. My old man copped an $800 find a few years ago because no renewal received. Surprise, surprise Government not responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 Don't know about other States, but in NSW if you register your email address with the RTA, they send plenty of notices starting from 1 month before expiry, then 2 weeks before then a few days before and then even after its expired ....Give'm your email addresses people!

Raven Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 I have been told the fine for having an unregistered car in N.S.W is minimum $650 and can be as high as $2200 ,,,,,,,,,there is currently a group trying to bring back rego stickers as many N.S.W motorists have been caught out and stung badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 Visual daily reminder for meYes was also a good reminder for me also .....eg driving along thinking my rego is due on this car soon ,,,what is the date ,,,quick glance Oh Dec 10 ............A constant visual reminder on that car ...............unless you are on the roads and Maritime email list it is easy to forget and many have to the financial gain of the state revenue a $650 is a little harsh ........

LeeM Posted 9November, 2016 Report Share Posted 9November, 2016 Since gaining SA rego last week in the 911, I wrote the date on the windscreen at top right corner with a whiteboard marker pen. The van has a white sticker in the same place that I see everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
