So if we have a sticker do we have to put it on? Mine should have gone on the windscreen 2 weeks ago and I havent done it yet.

From 1 January 2014 they are no longer required to be issued or displayed for all light vehicles (under 4.5 tonnes), including motorcycles and trailers.

I take that as none need to be displayed from tomorrow punch

I've had an old one on for years, I just kept forgetting to put the new one on.

Remember to make a note of when it's due and keep it somewhere prominent. After scrapping the stickers here, a number of people claim to have missed getting renewal notices too.

Found this on the vicroads FAQ's

What happens if my registration expires on 31 December 2013? Do I take my sticker off on 1 January 2014?
As from 1 January 2014 there will be no requirement to display a sticker. You will be able to take the existing sticker off.

And our sticker scrapping was timed with the launching of plate recognition cameras, which can identify unregistered vehicles. Naturally an absolute coincidence.

As a general rule we do. But ask Leon how many callers he's had who suddenly stopped getting them.

Silly thing about that, is that the deletion of stickers is meant to be a cost cutting measure, and by the bulk numbers they get them in, would amount to very little per sticker. How much per renewal does a text message reminder cost?
