RTA Fees - Load of bull

[AWD Chaser]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to vent:

Purchased a trailer a few weeks ago with rego till Dec this year.

My Saturdays have been taken up by work and other things so I couldnt go to the RTA to do the rego transfer.

I get a chance today - she tells me there will be a late fee of $101 because I was out by 6 days! The rego is only $50 per year... The RTA want to charge me 2 years rego for what??

Then she tells me, I can complain, but I have to pay the fees before I can write away!

So if I leave the trailer rego as it is, when it expires, I can cancel it (no fees apply), get a blue slip (would have needed a pink slip anyway), and pay for a new plate and rego...

What a load of garbage... I can understand why these fees can apply to a MOTOR vehicle... but a trailer... comon...
