Hey guys,

I got pulled over for driving and unregistered vehicle last night..not a problem the rego ran out mid october and I was gonna pay it next week..so the fine I'll cop without a problem..do the wrong thing pay for it as far as I'm conerned..

however I was just wondering the officer didnt actually issue me a ticket on the spot..is this a common practice nowdays and you get it in the mail instead?

also anyone know what the fine is likely to be?? Im pretty sure I don't lose demerit points according to the vicroads website but I'm interested in what Ill be paying..

thanks..

i got the same thing but i payed mine the day before i got pulled over . paid it online and it didnt come up on vic roads logs that it was paid, so i got the fine on the spot. i got out of the fine later on but it was sumfin like $552 or about that.

Curious what did the cop say when you told him you paid? Was he ok about it? And what did VicRoads say to you when you called about the fine and telling them that you DID in fact pay

Damn VicRoads...

I payed my rego on my daily a little while ago, and about a month and a half later they sent me a letter in the mail telling me I'm driving around in an unregistered car.

What actually had happened is their credit card system stuffed up, subsequently making hundreds of people receive fines from the police for driving unregistered. Luckily I didn't get pulled up in this time.

i got pulled up about a month ago now...he said its 570 dollars id just come back from mount buller at the time so didnt have much time ro pay the rego, but the cop was good about it...the only thing he said was is look i cant let you go coz its come up on my screen and i need to save my ass which i was cool about...

but i never recieved an on the spot or in the mail..

prior to this i got a stop sign ticket and and no licence on me fine both of those were recived in the mail about 2 weeks after the incedent

stop sign ticket? i'm just gonna throw my guess out there and see what happens but i'm guessing you mean that you didn't stop at a stop sign and you got fined for it? if so..WTF?

I'd paid my Rego and forgot to put the sticker on... ...I was lucky because the cop wanted to fine me for it... ...but there are no rules when it comes to which sticker you display (as far as I know)... ...it all comes down to if you've paid it or not...

I believe that the fine is now $567 for Unregistered. There are no demerit points attached. I am sure that if you have paid rego and receive a fine for unregistered as Vic Roads haven't updated it (which actually happens quite a bit) just send in copy of receipt/Bpay on Stat Dec to civic compliance with fine and they cancel the fine.

Yes it's definirely an offence not to have current rego label afixed and is $57 fine no demerit points again.

With fines in mail it's a common practice to issue them later in mail.

Hope this answers a few questions.

Thanks graeme sure helps.. Good thing we have a specialist in the field hey lol..I've paid the rego now..but I've learnt my lesson pretty quick about taking the driving with no rego chance :D

my big problem was I brought the car a month before the rego expired..because it's so close to the expiration date vicroads doesnt issue a label cause its already gone to the old owner instead your meant to ring them and pay via credit card..which I don't have.. so I got them to mail a payment letter out and continued to drive until the payment letter arrived not knowing it was wrong since I was waiting for the label.. I know its wrong now and I did the wrong thing so I'll cop it and pay for it..the officer was a good bloke and I had a bit of a lugh with him so I can't complain...

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
