DPI Media statement - abbreviated

"Western Australians will no longer need registration stickers and discs on their cars, trailers and motorcycles from January 1, 2010.

The Premier said there were 2.2 million cars, utilities and light vehicles registered in WA and with the majority of people choosing to renew their registration every six months, this meant more than three million stickers were being produced each year.

“This is an innovative approach to efficiency and saving. WA is leading the nation with this step forward to a more modern and efficient government,” he said.

Mr Barnett said stickers and discs were no longer required because police had new communications technology meaning registration details could be checked using the new Police Metropolitan Radio Network.

"The new system gives police instant access to the State's vehicle registration database via computers located in all police vehicles,” he said.

“Police also have Automatic Numberplate Recognition Cameras, similar to the Multanova cameras, which can record and assess numberplates as vehicles pass by.”

Transport Minister Simon O’Brien said that the Department for Planning and Infrastructure would continue to send registration renewal notices to vehicle owners six weeks prior to the expiration of a vehicle’s registration"

Leading the country by using Automatic Numberplate Recognition Cameras to track your act :)

They've had the ANPR system in pommyland for a while now.

Mostly they check for tax, insurance, registration, licensed drivers, and warrants.

Over here they would more than likely check for registration and licensed drivers.

The bigger the database gets though, the more they'll be able to access.

Better be good kids!

im scared

This is true.

A few months ago i was driving a car not owned by me, a highway patrol car was in another lane and as it went to pass me, it slowed, pulled in behind me and pulled me over. I was informed the vehicle was owned by an unlicensed driver and i had to produce my license etc to show it wasnt me.

I think the whole no rego sticker is a good idea...however i think DPI might need to get their system in order first.

Im sure im not the only one who has looked at the sticker on the window and then had to ring up for the paperwork as it had not been sent yet due to 'clerical delays and errors'. With out the sticker, i imagin alot of people will not know when its due.

Also when i drive a customers car on the road, what happens if it turns out the vehicle is unregistered? I guess im the one who gets the fine?

Too true. If you were a little old lady driving down to the corner store and got pulled over you would be told to contact the DPI as soon as you get home.

If you were driving an import, they would do you for driving an unregistered vehicle, slap up a yellow sticker for some concocted rubbish, tow and impound your car, then throw you in a cell with Bubba the butt bandit for the night.

My boss has 12 cars or so. Is he expected to remember when the rego is due on all of them incase the DPI has a 'clerical delay'?

Considering he cant remember what he did yesterday it might be a problem hahaha

A day without the boss is an easy day! :)

Not quite.. I got done just before xmas, was driving in to work on a Saturday and thought I'd stop past PerthRC on the way. Cops going the other way saw the wrong coloured sticker and pulled me over. I explained that it got forgotten about in the xmas crazies, they popped my bonnet etc and ended up letting me drive to work so I could pay the rego and all I got was a small fine.

Thats why he has you Brad ;)
Not to mention the hassle of peeling them off without leaving goo on your windscreen
They've got better over the years, they used to be a problem.

All in all, for the law abiding citizen it's good news...but I'm always concerned when lawful persons are the subject of "random" surveillance.

faulty system

According to my sources, its an offline system;

The database of vehicles is synchronized and taken onsite to the camera/van system where it can query the passing car's plates quickly. Depending on the last time their system synchronized and when you paid your rego, you might be pulled over as the result of a false-positive.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
