A quick spray at the NSW RTA

Also yes i realise this thread is from 2006, but it was the most relevant after doing a search.

That's the problem around here... You get flamed for not searching and when you do search you get flamed for thread digging.

Just to set the record straight, the RTA handed the number plate side of things to private enterprise some years back. It's private enterprise ripping us off, the RTA is just collecting the fee for them.

But it's the government letting them! As soon as something is privatised, it's about profit and not about service level. Public Transport in Victoria is a PRIME example. I'm all for Governments selling off non-essential services, but essential services, such as utilities, public transport and infrastructure should remain in public hands! The problem there is the administration, when it's done by government, isn't as efficient. But at least the service levels are the priority rather than the profits.

as was said a bit further up... gotta love WA can have up to 9 letters and LOTS of different colours available, and the most you will ever pay is like $550 for a 9 letter polycarbonate plate (cheaper for the 7 letter tin ones) and you can sell them for whatever you want

thats why i kept mine regod in WA whilst being posted to NSW, im so glad to be moving back to WA soon, oh and me and my old man both have a WH caprice, his is regod in NSW, mine in WA my 12 month rego is $513 and his is close to $1000, another reason why the whole east coast can EADC!

Yea I saw that a year or so ago, changed the pricing system.

Used to be for coloured plates you paid a once off, but custom lettering was a yearly cost. That I was willing to pay. But this is just money grabbing revenue, I even rang the customer service number and asked where that money was going.

"Into the roads and safety of the roads you drive on sir." The roads I drive on? Don't think so, Parramatta Road still feels like a dirt track with craters in it, as well as the other roads I take. All the lights are out of synchronisation everywhere I go. None of this is safe.

It's going elsewhere for sure.
