There has been a lots of requests from clubs and members complaining about the ugly conditional plates since their introduction. I for one hated giving up my personal plates, but at $46.00 per year it was a no brainer. I have six cars so I was down at the RMS toping up their account on a regular basis.

The word is, the RMS is still running a DOS computer program and the Historical and conditional system doesn't allow for the restricted use plate system. Apparently the police numberplate recognition system cant do a full car and current registration check. They have to type it in manually. Just goes to show you how pathetic, backwoods and out of touch our government departments are. It would be to bloody easy to put a small sticker H or M on the plate just like they have on LPG powered cars.

The latest I heard is the RMS is looking into it and at some stage in the future they hope to come up with a solution. I am going to have a punt on the outcome here and reckon the $46.00 per year will probably go up slightly. And if we want personalised plates on our old vehicles they will probably charge us $500.00 per year additional for the plates.
