Can someone explain the Australian Registration / License plate system to me? It sounds like the registration goes with the car even it changes owners. I'm just curious.
I'm not the right person to ansver and I'm not even asvering the guestion at all, but I don't see anything weird with that. In Finland, the license plate stays the same even when the car changes owners or moves to another city or region. We used to have some region codes still maybe in the 70s or 80s but not anymore.
I bring it up because I just had to get new plates for my grey truck, $118, and it's legal until next October.
America to my knowledge is the only country in which the registration plate does not move with the vehicle
Canada too. I had to mail my plates back to the government when I sold my car since I didn't have a new one to put them on.
It is same here too (Turkey), doesnt matter who owns the car but plate stays with the car as far as i know.
Here its optional if the plate stays with the car or not also you can keep the plates if you want them too (I kept all of them)
You have to mail your plates back? Us Americans just kinda pile them up on a shelf in the garage, or display vanity plates on the walls.
I lost my license over that in new York City and didn't know for months. they wouldn't reinstate my license until I returned the plates. fortunately between my friend and I we have about a dozen new Jersey throw away plates for when it's better to be anonymous.
I think it's a mail-them-back-or-pay-a-fee type deal. They just don't want plates floating around with valid (or apparently valid) stickers. It may be different if you wait for them to expire. It's also different in every province. I've got six Canadian plates lying around, two of which were on our family's cars, so it's not a law or anything.
My mother is from Edmonton. I wish we had A&P Restaurants state side. that Alberta beef makes for a burger I'd never seen the likes of here in the east coast. in and out burgers is a sham.
I saw a dead guy hanging out of a van yesterday. Dude smashed an astro into a bridge support and I drove by as they were cutting him out. Man Killed in Knox County Crash
In the US, When you register a vehicle you get plates for it, then for each renewal you get a sticker that you put on the plate to show that it's valid. In Illinois, if you sell a vehicle, the plates by law, cannot go with it, they must stay with you, and either transferred to a different vehicle, or destroyed.
In Australia, the system is that each vehicles is assigned a set of number plates and you basically pay rego for those plates which stay with the car. When you sell the car, all you have to do is transfer the car into the new owners name and any rego still on the car will be carried over to the new owner. Most people use rego as a good selling point because of how much it costs especially for cheap cars on sites like facebook or gumtree(Aussie Craigslist) as the cost of car compared to rego is very high. $180AUD for 3 months or something like $720-730AUD for a year that is for SA where i live. Not sure about how much the other states cost or if they even have the same system. You'd have to ask somebody else for that.
So my moms mini coooper is likely totaled. Got hid head on by a pickup. she was sitting still, pickup wasn't. Everyone is fine. My mom walked away from it with a broken collarbone
Did the van after the impact look like the one here at 0:12 of the video Or like this at 0:05 of the video Either way, crashing into a bridge abutment in that van is one hell of a way to go.
With that Astro van safety, you might as well get a motorcycle. At least you'll get cool airtime for a few seconds.
So i finally got around to looking up sport mode on my 2009 subaru outback. I see it light up each time i start the car, along with all the other lights. Does what i thought. You can switch the automatic to "manual". I think i know of a place to mess around with this. gonna go later.
