Hey, anyone in here a lawer or a police person?? Got pulled up on my way home from work today, copper then says that he has checked with the RTA and my car is unregistered, it is regod in VIC so wont show up on RTA, he ignored this fact, proceded to remove my rego label and give me TWO fines for $450 each with the same offence description but different offence codes and one saying my car is regd in NSW. What the hell can i do about this?? :unsure:

Call the RTA and the victorian road authority and see what the can do about printing something out to say that your car is registered.

If they do that, your set, take it to the cop shop and show them.

If that doesnt work, get yourself lawyered up.

Wow, that is f**ked. What a prick.

If it is all legal and the copper was just being a prick, I start by calling a the relevant transport authority to get advice (and to check the copper was not right), Then I'd be calling a police station to ask what the story is and what you can do. If you still think your right and nobody has helped you, get some professional legal advice.

Good luck.

Are you driving on a victorian or nsw licence?

How long have you had the vehicle registered in vic?

How long have you been living in nsw? - what i can gather from previous posts, you've been living in nsw for at least 6 months.

Unless you can prove that you don't actually live in nsw, you'll just have to wear it.

From RTA website:

Is your vehicle registered interstate?

If you have moved to NSW from interstate with an interstate-registered vehicle, you must register your vehicle in NSW.

You must bring your interstate number plates with you when you apply to register your vehicle in NSW. You'll have to surrender your interstate plates before you'll be given NSW plates.

All second-hand vehicles requesting establishment of registration (including interstate and imported vehicles) may be selected for an additional inspection by the RTA's vehicle identity unit. You will be notified at the time of registration if you are selected.

blah blah blah......

Second-hand vehicles (interstate)

To establish registration for a second-hand vehicle purchased interstate, you will need to go to a motor registry and provide:

* Proof of your identity (see related link above right) or, if registering the vehicle in the name of a company, proof of company name and the ACN/ARBN number.

* Proof of acquisition (eg a receipt for purchase of the vehicle, certificate of registration signed by the previous registered operator/s of the vehicle, or the previous certificate of registration in the same name if coming from interstate).

* Proof of your residential address (see related link above right).

* A valid Compulsory Third Party insurance policy – also known as a green slip – with the number plate section blank (not required for trailers).

* An inspection report – also known as a blue slip – from an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station (AUVIS). If there is no AUVIS in your area, you can get a pink slip from an Authorised Inspection Station (AIS) instead of the blue slip.

* Your interstate number plates – you'll have to surrender your interstate plates before you'll be given NSW plates.

* Evidence of eligibility for any concession (see related links to Pensioner concessions and Apprentice registration rebate above right).

* A completed Application for Registration form.

* Payment for registration, including stamp duty (3% of the vehicle's purchase price, 5% if more than $45,000) and applicable number plate fee.

Beau there's a DEFGRAM out that explains it all. I think most states you have to change your rego within 3 months of moving however you can keep your licence current until next renewal (all states except Vic from memory).

Try the defweb first as the RTA will have no idea on the Defence scheme but I am almost 100% that you still need to change your registration within 3 months of your posting wef date.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
