NSW rego sticker. Gone.
 

Just thought I'd put a reminder out.

NSW rego stickers are not needed to be displayed as of Jan 1st 2013.

Just gave my car a wash. How sweet it was to peal off that ugly sticker.

SA has had this for about a year and it is bs.

It is so easy to forget to register your car. They have also introduced to periods of which you can pay for your rego. 3 Months and 1 year. Before this move it was 3, 6, 9, and 12. I used to do 6 as it wasn't a massive hit in the bank and also kept it off my mind for a bit.

Now I started doing 3 months and my reminder notice comes in about a month and half later. So you forget about it. And bam. Lucky my new car came with 1 year.
The fines of driving an unregistered vehicle are insade. There is NO lenancy with this system. I know four people that have been done by this already, with about $1000 fines.

Stickers may be ugly. And I was rejoicing when they where removed. Now I want them back. (and especially want the 6 month option back!)

Im leasing my 86, so I don't have to be reminded.

Keep the renewal papers in a plastic sleeve on the dash board in the car and you wont forget.

I know what your saying, I usually leave it til the 2nd last day on my other car.

Well the problem with leaving the renewal notice in your car is that, it carries the transfer ownership details on the back of them.
No way in hell I am leaving that in my car!

I just got used to the stickers. It has a big 3 on it. Oh yep need to register next month. Easy. Sure someone could easily say just put a big number 3 on it yourself. Well, no. When you have to do something, you just do it. If you dont have to, you wont (for the most part). Like wearing a bike helmet or seat belts. I'm glad that we have to. I probably wouldn't otherwise.

WA has had it for a year or so now. I like it. Saves messing around with all that sticky crap each 12 months.

I don't get why people say they forget to pay their rego. They still send you a bill in the mail to pay your rego. Do people forget to pay their gas, watar and electricity bills as well? :-)

Yep. They send reminders. :)

actually it's more like 3years now. ;)

Also even though you get sent the payment slip there is a chance it will get lost in the mail. It happened to me and I only realised I hadn't payed it when I got a notice to hand in the plates 3months after it was due...

Wow time flys!

For WA people you can also get an SMS or email reminder:

Stickers are great for making sure plates on the car are actually from the car. Friend of mine used to work at a petrol station and they caught heaps of people using stolen plates by reading the sticker with binoculars.

thats employee dedication right there

We still have stickers in VIC.

Still mandatory in Qld.

Can't see why you'd "forget" to register your car.
Apart from the RTA sending you a bill,don't you get a Green Slip reminder as well???
Cheers
