NSW: No more rego stickers from today!

[AWD Chaser]

Hey all,

I've posted about this before, but for those who forgot, NSW registered vehicles no longer have to display their rego stickers as of today. I've just ripped mine off my cars and trailers!

[zilo]

Now all you have to do is remember when the rego is due.
One day late...and big fine.
In SA fixed speed cameras now have number plate recognition built in as well as all the other goodies.

[XBROO]

Wish QLD would to the same, as I always forget to put the new one on. And hate trying to get it straight and look right on a car.

[lilmattie]

How does it work across sates? Like if you came up here to QLD?

[Simple6]

And not an offence to display an expired sticker. I've got one of those repo rego stickers for my XB I've been waiting to put on.

[bangm001]

I rather the damn stickers. We have had this in place already for a little here in SA.
Makes it very hard for the owners to remember its due. Makes the front screen look nice and clean though!

According to the RMS other states will be notified that we do not require rego stickers. However it's interesting because when speaking to a police officer he said they'd received no official notification about the new requirements.

I've heard a couple comments about not being able to remenber when it's due, don't they send out reminders? We get one a month before it's due.

Apparently in WA it saves $2M a year in sticker printing. It's anybody's guess how much revenue it added in fines. I've nearly missed my rego twice, once because I put the bill down and it got covered up with other stuff (my fault, I know, but at least the sticker was a constant reminder), and the second time because I never received the "first and final" notice.

For me, it would be better to have them, but you can't argue with a government determined to save some money that they can waste somewhere else.

That's about right too, but they can keep their yearly RWCs'.

if that ever happens here I hope they make rego cheaper (they wont). I'd be for yearly roadworthys if it wasn't for the cost of rego.

If a car is legal to drive in one state its legal to drive in all Aust states. Straight from the RMS technical branch!

[AlbertM]

If you are so worried about not having the reminder when your rego is due, make your own sticker.

Love the no sticker rule, always was loosing them on the trailer anyway.

[duaned]

Ill be taking off my sticker and re-sticking it into my 2013 calendar as a reminder of when the rego is next due.

[Winter XR8]

You can get an email notification setup. I have this for my rego and drivers licence.

Ive left my original sticker on the car, it acts as a reminder and i like the nostalger. Also have a repro 70,s sicker on the XY.

Yeah I don't get it either.

You get a renewal letter from the RTA, and one from your greenslip company. How can you forget?? And how often do you look at the sticker to read the date anyway?

[Franco Cozzo]

Its going to save $X million a year for NSWs version of VicRoads!

So you'll all be seeing a smaller bill at rego time, am I right?











Right?







I make myself laugh

just a suggestion In SA we can pay for 3 or 12 month. I had the same prob. so paid a 3 month brought it forward to April then bing 12 months easy.

if you can't manage your affairs well enough to remember your rego how to you manage day to day living? do you forget to renew your licence because there isn't a sticker to remind you?
this is a positive move rego stickers are a pain at work where we have 150 buses

It wont help your situation. Buses still have to have them on.

[stevethepom]

If you go to Vic watch out even though they have been appraised of SA not having rego labels the cops over there dont seem to have got the message and like to hand out tickets for no rego /uninsured a mate of mine got done 3 times in one day back in November and didnt have his rego document in the car with him and they wanted to impound his car until he got proof he was the registered operater /owner etc now has to front up to a court in vic sometime in the near future !

[AndyXR6T]

Sticker gone! Clean windscreen!

[pks54]

Can someone please clarify.

I thought if the rego is due say in August, you still have to display the sticker until August.

Can I go rip my rego stickers off no matter ?

[casabonka]

[MercurySilver]

"These customers should use this new sticker when they renew their registration and leave it in place until new year's day."

From RMS website -

What’s different for light vehicles?
If your registration is due for renewal from 1 January 2013 you will not receive a registration sticker.
From 1 January 2013 you will not need to display a registration sticker

When can I remove my current registration sticker?
You can remove the registration sticker from your light vehicle from 1 January 2013. After 1 January 2013 it will no longer be an offence for light vehicles to not display a registration sticker, or to display an expired or damaged sticker.

Do I have to remove my registration sticker on 1 January 2013?
From 1 January 2013, it will be your choice if you wish to remove the registration sticker from your light vehicle. It won’t be an offence to display a current or expired registration sticker.
