Historic Club Rego - Ups & Downs

They are both just doing their job.

The lady at the RTA was correct about it just being a 'permit to move' under the old system, but because the new system is still so 'out of the ordinary', she probably doesn't know that it's changed from that. From her end it's still a bit of a hassle.

The number of H-plated cars on the road makes up such a small percentage of the total number, that it's only just a blip on the radar. So much so that many RTA staff & police have had little or no experience in handling it.

Just did one of my cars the other day in Sydney. Total was $97 to establish and $41 was the plates. The other costs were Admin $21 CTP $26.68 GST $2.66 MCIS levy $5.66. Second year should therefore be $56

I also heard there was a recent meeting between the representative of the CMC and the RMS where it was stated that there has not been one single CTP claim since the scheme was established and the RMS are very happy with the operation. So lets hope it continues.

I have six cars on these plates (one more to come after it's birthday) and all insured with Shannons who offer comprehensive cover on a plated vehicle for not much more than $100 depending on agreed value.

Best thing since sliced bread.

I am a CMC committee member & so I know first hand that the system is working very well, with only a very small minority causing any dramas. That's why we work to keep the system 'clean' & free from abuse.
