NSW: change to licencing

Not sure what happens outside WA but here they stopped making
individual stickers for vehicles many years ago. There is no
identifiable difference between any of the 40,000 stickers that expire
this month, no serial number, no rego number, nothing.

We would not remove stickers as it removes some fineable offenses (not
display,display two etc)

 

Well, yes, we obviously also have those rules. I do have an
expectation that when they no longer issue stickers it will no longer
be an offence to not have one displayed. They're not the EPA.

forgo a method of stealing money from us

I generally disregard anyone that has a history of hanging out in
groups that include words such as:-
"disorder", "mental health", "psychiatry" and "personality"

...oh, and "bicycle".

 

I wouldn't join a group that would have me as a member...

The RTA has already updated the website to reflect the new
requirements (that don't kick in until 1 June 2009...but try and find
that date listed anywhere sensible).

Confusion already appears to reign at your fiendly local RTA counter
(please take a ticket - Press 1 for Confusion..2 for
Discombobulation...)

If anyone needs the previous wording it can be found here:-

Due to Chinese Whispers and such, there is some confusion/
misinformation across all forums and even Rider Training sites as to
the old (ie soon to be defunct) criteria for Mature Aged Riders. The
most oft repeated is holding or being eligible to hold a Gold
Licence..this is not the full story.....

"If you are aged 30 years or over and have held an Australian or New
Zealand unrestricted driver licence for the last five years with no
cancellations, disqualifications or lapses of more than six months
between renewals, you may proceed directly from a learner rider
licence to an unrestricted licence. However, you are still required to
successfully complete the pre-learner and pre-provisional courses."

and the one remaining restriction is no pillion for 12 months..but
otherwise a full Rider licence.
