No rego labels in NSW

[mckackie]

It dawned on me that these plate recognition systems don't sound an alert unless a vehicle is unregistered or an owner or regular driver of the particular vehicle is unlicensed or has outstanding warrants. So....in the case of a collector owning a few similar vehicles, they could easily change the plates between vehicles and drive or ride them without being detected, unless pulled over, potentially for quite some time, if they are not an individual who comes under notice of the police. We have three cars we could get away with doing it.

On Friday, one of the guys took the small work truck for a delivery, on his way back he was pull up on the m7 and told the truck was unregistered even though the rego had been paid .the state recovery had made it unregistered because of a unpaid fine. It turns out that the truck was registered in the bosses brother in laws company and it had gone through a speed camera and he had to nominate the driver, the paperwork had been sent in but he was waiting for the return mail, the driver got out of the fine but had to leave it where he got pulled up. He had no reason to question that the rego was not done as him and I had been told a couple of months before that the rego had just been paid. This is another avenue where the no rego sticker don't help but can get the extra revenue for the government.

Great until you have an accident and have no insurance.
It's people who are trying to do the right thing getting caught out that is unfair.
