Here's a good one ,last month travelled to Gloucester with the bike in the back of the ute which is registered ( it 200 ) an got charged for the car and bike , I called them up to please explain and they were trying to tell me someone else was riding the bike . F@#king idiots , anyone who knows me you can imagine how the response was

From experience,,, remember to put duct tape over ALL the cars number plates on the car transporter rig you are driving on toll ways, or cop the bill for the seven of them on the truck too.....Fooken bullshit isn't it!

I have recently been charged for my enclosed trailer $12 on the M5. its under 2 meters high so should be about $4. I have asked the question about the compliance of the instrument used for determining / calculating a trade. They should have a NMI approved system which is in current verification. they cannot confirm either way... this is modern day highway robbery LOL

I got an "unpaid toll" charge for the gateway bridge in Brisbane. Their photo showed a 4WD with NSW personalised plates that happened to look like the rego plate on my QLD registered WR200 that I sold (unregistered) 15 years beforehand, after de-registering it
Seems like the Queensland rego system never forgets how to associate a plate with an owner. No probs with the toll people when I phoned up to sort it out

Hey Ekka, would have loved to have been a fly on the wall listening to your conversation with the tollers. As Tymes said "Gold".

Its probably done by computers?
I wonder if a real time video is stored so it can be checked by human, I'd hope their contract requires they do.

Its called number plate recognition .... we don't have rego stickers these days  for that reason. 

[Mike52]

Talking about number plate recognition.
 My stepson is a fly in fly out worker and leaves his car at the Toowoomba Airport for 2 weeks at a time .
Comes home in the dark last week , hops in his car and drives downtown Toowoomba.
Copper pulls him over and fines him $771 for having no number plates.
Someone had pinched them and he didn't notice.
No compassion , no consideration , no excuses just $771 thanks.
The thief had more compassion , he put the screws back when he had finished.

[Mick D]

The real danger there Mike , is what are the plates going to be used for? Best case senario, a grub stealing fuel , worse case, the mind shudders.

[Nathan S]

$771 is not much different to the fine for being unregistered...
