Vic/NSW Rego

[GTSLOVER]

OFF TOPIC ALERT.

I must not be the norm because I know in recent months I have been more aware of my speed due to the huge increase in HWP I have seen.

Also ANPR is not only used for unreg/uninsured offences. Many a good crook has been caught by such technology.

ANPR is only for unreg/unins. Catching the crooks from it is incidental. If a warning has been attached to a plate then it displays that warning but as said a warning, which can only be put on by other police, needs to be on that vehicle first.

Same as before ANPR it was often incidental unless deliberately stopped due to a hunch. Stop a bloke for a minor traffic offence, then turns into unreg, then turns into drive disqualified etc etc.

the logic being that the unreg'd will go slower as not to attract attention.

and just touching on the modern day cop and their policing,

I think age has a lot to do with it, they should put the min age up to 23,
coz if you come out of school and straight to the academy at 18-19,
where you're taught to think cop and handed a gun, then you have no life skills to base your discretion on.

Live a little and see why the people hurt.

Yep, and I could not agree more with you. The best coppers are the ones with life skills. A 19 year old telling a 30 year old that he understands his problems just does not cut it.

I think we have overtaken the OP post enough now. no more talk from me on subject. Apologies to OP.

Put into perspective. It is not as bad as someone doing an over 45. Simple really. Go and see a few bad prangs as a result of speed and you will soon think the same way

I was more thinking that if the guy with no rego and therefore no greenslip/ctp cannons into someone and messes up their life, who pays? I do not disagree with your point on 45 over at all. Lock them all up. Oh and throw the ****ers on mobile phones in with them.

GTSLOVER, As a current member of the HWP who gets more charges than the Ds at my station, I am insulted by your comments about the new breed. Yes there are some nupties out there, and the HWP does attract them, but to tarnish all of us is an insult.

It's not our fault that our section is run by idiots who have never worked a shift in a HWP car and get their ideas from America.

Be insulted. I did my time and am entitled to an opinion on it having been there and watched and lived through the changes. HWP have always had more charges than the D's. If that was not the case then you did not belong there. Should be going through a F/can book within a month not including PCA's and TIN and RIN books every few weeks or you dont belong there. Sorry again OP, I had to bite at that one.

However I did not say once that all HWP were useless, I said the majority these days. If you want to lob yourself into that majority feel free. You might be one of the decent ones, buggered if I know, I dont really care anymore. I dont have to put up with it.

Fair enough, enjoy your HOD.

Okay so heard back from them today with the following..

I originally supplied a scan of the rego papers but obviously want proof it was payed. Spoke to vicroads today and once again were surprisingly helpfull, whilst they could'nt give me a copy of the reciept there and then, has to go through melbourne for whatever reason, but he sent off an email to chase it up for me and should have some sort of proof of payment in the mail soon. So i'll send that off and see how we go!

Any update on this?

If your getting pulled over all the time it's because your a cop magnet. Cops are attracted to easy bookings, like I am easy women. It's not against law to register your vehicle in any state as long as it is garaged there (really garaged there!). There is a fine for failing to change your rego when moving interstate (3 months for rego and 2 weeks for your licence). The real problem is when you write your vehicle off. Insurance companies will not pay if you are not legal and this could cost you the value of your car not just $607.

Hey guys, sorry forgot i never updated this, haven't been on for a while.

So obviously not the result i wanted, pretty disappointing when both the RMS and Vicroads advised me that i had done the right thing but it is what it is!
I could have disputed it in court but not worth the time so i just payed it and moved on, at the end of the day i have saved more than that by not paying N.S.W ridiculous rego prices the last couple of years.
