number plates in Victoria?

Well as long as it can be snapped clearly by the revenue, oops, "Safety", cameras then I'm sure they have no objection..

 

definitely has to be a vicroads issue.

 

No different to the new 458, have to cover the Horsey. Get used to it, put a plate on or be prepared to get a 3 point penalty. Welcome to the nanny state.

edit: don't the rice burners like the EVO have the plate mounted to the side.

 

I had the same problem with the 308, it cost me 3 points and $1000 after going to court. They don't care about your problem Bobby, just drill some holes and mount it somewhere.

 

If he drilled holes, all the air cooling liquid might leak out

 

OH, and yep, even the judge agreed with me on that one Bobby but still fined me $100 to go to the Austin Hospital, plus my $900 lawyer costs (that was the $1000 result for me with no front plate). I know it stinks but mate we live in the nanny state so they need to be able to see the front number plate for speeding fines.

In other states its illegal to photograph from the front for privacy reasons. For some reason Victoria has bi passed that. ****ing government and ****ing lawyers. I hate them.

 

Number one it's not an expensive car RB.

Just having a lend Bobby as you do to us all the time. I don't agree with the whole front number plate thing either and trust me I was spewing with my experience. I've told my story many a time here so won't repeat. Will tell you the full story when we next catch up.

Here's what you do. Stop complaining or just leave FQ and head north.

Just use a slimline plate and double sided tape. That's what Phil has used on my plate to avoid drilling into the bodywork.

Yes PP that is the rear plat (full sized), just showing Bobby the plate attached using PSA.

In SA you are required to have a Transport SA manufactured plate front and rear. No stickers, no third party plate, no excuses, no correspondence entered into. In the old days, stickers were OK and there was a thriving industry making plastic plates. Now the sign companies have been threatened with large fines for making numberplates - I know because I tried several.

If you can't fit an approved front plate, you can't drive your car. If you have a non-complying plate on your car in SA, that just means they haven't stopped you yet.

If you value your points, you don't mess around on this one.

 

Gee's I'm sorry RB I didn't realise this was an original Carrera. Congrats. I apologise for my cheap shot the other day. I didn't realise from previous converstaions you'd spend $400k on a car.

I would ask VicRoads if you can get a slimline?????

 

Uh oh.

 

There are slim line CH plates. You just have to request them. That is my understanding.

 

+ 1 on the double sided tape.

My car appears to have never had holes drilled in the back and I wasnt going to be the first. They have been on for 3 years and are still quite sturdy.
