Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[Beerfish]

Anyone familiar with vehicle licensing. Inherited a car couple of months ago. Tried getting the car put into my name. Turns out I needed to install an approved immobilizer. Stupid me thought 'well I wont be driving this car, will let it sit for a while.' Now I get a letter saying the car license has been cancelled.

Obviously it means I have to send the plates in but if one day in the future I do get the immobiliser fitted, am I able to pay for a new license? Or is the car stuffed now? :/

What is it?

I think you also get a fine for not transferring ownership of the vehicle (that's if you bought it - not sure of the laws if it's given to you)

Not enjoying work - wet and cold

I'm working nights at the royal show so if this keeps up it is going to be bloody miserable tonight. Got absolutely hosed on on Saturday night and am expecting more of the same tonight.

So plates have to go back, and its over the pits for you I think.

Over the pits? So I cant just get it installed, sign a stat dec and then apply for a new car license?

AH so over the pits means get it inspected. Fair enough.

It means any little faults and shit could need to get fixed before its licensed, major ones obviously.

Yeah, just read a story about someone in Perth who had his car inspected. Wouldnt pass it because there was a tear in one of the seats, and a little bit of rust on the roof. Looks like i goofed big time.

A few years back I had to get an inspection to get a yellow sticker off (cracked windscreen) and the guy at Bruce Rock just said does everything else work? Replied with "Yep". $100 and off you go.

But I think they can be a real pain in the arse in Perf and everything has to be perfect, don't you also have to wait in line at the inspection place for hours?

 

[Scotland]

I've let a license lapse for ages before renewing and never handed in plates.

If you just go to the Dept of Transport website and enter the invoice number it should let you pay. If you search via the rego number and it's too late it will say 'no account exists for this vehicle'.

I think I have been into a licensing centre once or maybe twice since I got my license 15 years ago.

It's not as bad as it used to be as they use private mechanics workshops to do inspections and the employees there don't enjoy the power trip of failing cars because of minor things like the public service employed inspectors did.

 

[Smeg Head]

Yeah some of them are nazi's by all reports, you done goofed good ep2006

I think I have been into a licensing centre once or maybe twice since I got my license 15 years ago.

I once walked into the one at Joondalup to pick up an old pair of plates of mine they had and there was about 300 people in there with about 5 staff working the counter. Walked straight back out and just ended up getting them to send them to the local shire office..

I would follow Scotland's advice and try and register it but it will be in the old name - if I'm reading this right so you are going to have to do at least a change of address if you aren't going to change ownership

Ok, not whinging anymore. Would be freezing down there atm. What section are you working in

 

[Beerfish]

I have an old classic car as a weekender and following all this licencing talk have just realised I managed to get the licence changed over when I bought it (few years ago) despite it not having an immobiliser.

 

[Kram]

Don't over in the eastern states you have to get it inspected every year or something? It's like that in the UK as well I think.

Yeah they have 'roadworthy certificates'. Not sure if it's every year but it would suck hard regardless.

It's called a warrant of futness on Motorway Patrol.

 

[ep2018]

Worked a couple of days in the Chicken Treat stall at the royal show back in 2008. They were desperate for staff so I got a bit extra $$$ for my time. Was hot as hell in there but I didnt have to pay for entry fee so I managed to look around the stalls at the end of my shifts.

Unless I break in and steal one it aint happening. Soz.

I work in the middle of the night cleaning the grounds when everyone is gone. Saturday night was wet and freezing but the past 2 nights haven't been too bad. Got out of there last night just as it started bucketing down.

It would be really annoying but given the amount of absolute shit-boxes you see on WA roads it probably wouldn't be a bad idea for public safety.

 

[estibador]

You mean **** off Spring. Winter has already stuffed off.

Doesn't feel like it. It was bloody freezing out in that wind today.
