Is that some kind of inspection before your registration can be paid or something?

Ours differs here depending on the state. In Queensland, you just go & pay your rego every year (which includes compulsory third party insurance). That's it. In NSW, you basically have to get the vehicle road-worthied every year prior to paying rego. Only need a roadworthy here upon initial registration, or to transfer ownership.

Well done Kaz, always a good feeling when it goes straight through the mot :!:

As Bondy says it's an annual inspection, that applies (in the UK) once the bike is 3yrs old, once it's passed the mot (ministry of transport) test it's then classified as road worthy, you then need insurance cover and road tax.

VTR Girl, to clarify the situation in Great Britain:-

You don't have to have an MOT if you live on certain large estates, wear a baseball cap, have a bad attitude and don't work.

Same applies with insurance and driving licences.

If you do get caught you are allowed to do a high speed chase through built up areas before eventually getting stopped.

You then pay a £50 fine £1 a week from your benefit, get a driving ban for the licence you don't have and go and do the same again the next week. If you get caught again you have to go to court, but if you don't turn up nothing much happens.
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

:lol:

Thanks Stratman. Kinda similar here then. You get busted for driving while your licence is suspended & the punishment is a longer suspension. You get busted again & the suspend you for longer. You get busted again & the newspaper does a story on you & you get suspended for longer... So the story goes :roll:

And for some reason, if you get caught drink driving, you get suspended, but the penties are LIGHTER because you obviously weren't yourself 8O . As far as I'm concerned, if "yourself" drink drives, you should just have your vehicle impounded, sold & the money given to families of the innocent killed by drink drivers.
