Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can tell me one of those sites where you can put in words and it will display them on a number plate. Do vic roads have a link? Im interested in seeing what a couple of plates would look like.

Cheers,
Brad

We have one in QLD that might give you an idea of what they look like

EDIT: Just had a quick look for ya, Vic Roads don't seem to have the same sort of thing. Here's the Vic Roads site.

Cheers mate,

Damn, the plates i want would cost almost 2 grand according to the qld site. That is damn expensive! I liked living in darwin, all personalised plates only $50 bucks!

in Victoria you have to ring or go into a Vic roads office, not unless they have made one in the last 6 months...

and also plates will soon cost no more than what they cost to make....if you havent heard we have been getting ripped off for the last 20 years and its finally been bought to light.

Good call, NOT

Here is the latest Communiqu� outlining Vicroads' position on the sale of personalised and custom plates:

Driven by customer demand VicRoads Personalised and Custom number plate business has grown significantly over the past 20 years. Whilst this has enabled customers to obtain a small investment asset or a valued gift for friends and family, the legislation supporting these purchases has not reflected the growing customer interest and investment in this product.

VicRoads currently have a Bill before parliament to address this and ensure that consumers� rights are clearly defined and protected in legislation. The Bill will also validate the fees charged in the past and confirm the existing practice for VicRoads custom plate sales.

It does not authorise VicRoads to charge additional fees for service that have already been provided, or require motorists to purchase any additional services.

The Herald Sun has recently reported that VicRoads has overcharged car owners for custom number plates and that the Road Safety Act does not allow for sales of these types of plates at the fees being charged.

Customers, who purchase plates, do so on a voluntary basis and the purchase price reflects the market value of the product.

VicRoads position in relation to the sale of Custom and Personalised number plates remains unchanged. Number plate sales are to continue and VicRoads will not issue refunds for number plates purchased on a voluntary basis.

Summed up:

The purchase of custom & personalised number plates is discretionary.
Profits made from these sales are directed back into road safety and road network programs.
There is no provision to apply for refunds of previously purchased plates.
The Road Safety Miscellaneous Amendments Bill when passed will bring Victoria into line with all other States

Oh, and if you're in Victoria and would like to check the availability of certain number plates, you can email me at nicholas dot scudds at vicroads dot vic dot gov dot au (yes, spelt out to ignore spam)
