Who didn’t pay the rego?

Browsing my email spam folder today and found a reminder from Transport and Main Roads that my motorcycle registration was due 17th October. Crap.

I don’t recall getting a letter about it maybe they don’t do that any more 🤷🏻‍♀️ but fuck me I knew it was going to hurt me in the wallet region!

Logged in and stung with $63.85 on top of rego for being 2 days late. In fairness, I didn’t get pinged riding it for the last 2 days which would have been more than that.

Then I thought, when you pay late the registration is backdated to the due date so even though I paid on 20/10 the registration still shows as from 17/10. I wondered if I could have gotten out of a ticket by claiming I technically WAS registered from 17/10 … I just hadn’t made the payment yet. Fucking LOL.

Lesson for self: check your spam folder regularly and pay on time 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
