Rego Sucks

[smcqueen89]

well guys

on Thursdays night i had a few beers down at the pub and so i got my mate to drive my car home that hasn't had a drink..... so i was driving how and we got rbt that came uo as 0 and let us drive of then

we sore the red and blues behind us we pulled over and the police told me that my car hasn't had rego for 20 days i had a look at the dash and it had expired and since it is my second car i havnt reali looked at the window at the date...

nothing came to my house no renewel papers or reminder so i was in shock..

they made me keep the car on the road over night with my mate with a court notice next month...

then on Saturday morning went to the mechanics to get the car checked over for rego annd i got a list of stuff i have to do to get it pasted eg tires that where not in that bad condition, ball joints on the wheels, horn , bov grrrrrrr

i so my car is stuck at the shop till monday getting charge 450 to get it fixed to get rego

so yeah that was my weekend how was yours??????? lol

[leer34]

lol that sounds like a horrible weekend...have to be really careful with making sure ur rego is up to date because they will usually always get you for it, even if its just a day over. i assume because you wont have ctp on your car once your rego has expired??

hope ur mate doesn't get in too much trouble anyway.

[smcqueen89]

yeah well ill be coping it i cant let him pay 4 it....and no ctp

The positive aspect is that in NSW, an unregistered car can't be defected.

I was rolling my car out of the garage yesterday as it had a flat battery, tight space in the garage so I was pushing it out from the B pillar. Accidentally ran over my toes in the process, friggin hurt but luckily nothing broken, was a bit sore yesterday but feels fine today!

either luck or my body really is made of steel

Cleaned out a rental place in another city having been moving over the past few months, we also thought we could do it in 1 day so ended up sleeping on the floor all night with no furniture, pillows etc...

A few years ago I was putting some speakers in my shitty old car, so took mum's camry out to go see some friends in town (in newy). I got rbt'd round 2am when dropping a few of them home, when the officer spotted the rego:

"Are you aware the car is out of rego sir?"

"No officer, it's actually my mum's car... how long out of rego is it?"

Officer looks at her watch, "2 hours"

Hahahaha, after a long chat with her supervisor they decided to let me go.

Hehe.....

Not very often does Commonsense win over Bureaucracy.

[Galois]

Haha yeah, I did luck out on that one. It was only when the officer spoke to the supervisor that there was any chance of leniency. Also camry's aren't the most radical of cars lol

I'm a bit confused, did you get tickets for being unregistered or did they give you a little piece of paper saying you must attend court on a certain date? If it was the latter why did they do that? Have you had this happen to you more than once before? (Or more specifically your mate who was driving)

edit: My weekend sucked, I worked!

yes there was no fine for it just given a letter of a court date for next month & why your ask they did this... my opinion it was more aimed at my mate
