Potholes !

G'day all,

I have read several posts from Oz people who have driven over here and think the roads are good ?

I drove a few thousand ks in your land and never saw a tax disc holder like this ?

Hey, that's great!!
Wish we could use something like that.
But in January they're doing away with rego labels altogether in NSW.

Cheers Bruce.

With the amount of road fund licence spent on maintaining roads, (very little) they should do away with them here too.

Clute, I think they are gone in WA also. With the number plate recognition cameras setup these days the fuzz probably just check the number plate whilst on the prowl. Probably saves the departments a few dollars each year. But that will probably go into consolidated revenue also. cheers Tim >

Probably going sideways here, but as far as I'm concerned, those number plate recognition cameras are a good bloody thing.
They are removing from the road, the @r$eholes who have been cheating the system for decades.
If you've ever been in an accident with one of these @r$#oles, and you've had to pay all the extra dollars to get your vehicle fixed, while these jerks just laugh at you.
Then the 'fuzz' can do no wrong in my eyes, they can just go get lot's more of them, anytime, anywhere.

Greenie, could'nt agree more. They've been doing a few in the Greater Geelong area & also operating with the Sherriff's department. Boy have they been collecting some money from unregistered cars, unpaid fines etc. Cough up there & then or the vehicle's clamped until they do. Cya, Tim

South Australia lost it's rego stickers a while ago. Beside the police cars having plate recognition systems, the truck monitoring cameras (those on big archways over highways) also pick up non-rego vehicles, and probably other stuff as well.

on most major highways in nsw and victoria they seem to have put up dozens of those overhead cameras
