Why not just replace at re-license?

What happens if someone has just gone on their hols, and ain't back till after August 31st? Are they working illegally when they come back and don't know?

It's very good of them not to take it out of your fees ect? So who's paying for it?

the difference is...........it has the PH or HC plate number on it, not the vehicle reg

change for change's sake?

now when a sign is removed or stolen they cant just issue any old door sign from a stock of 100's, it has to be ordered as its unique...

best yet, the instructions show signs attached to front doors whereas our regs stipulate rear doors....how long before someone follows the printed instructions?..

Ive heard it all now....the old ones were vinyl just like the new ones...

We phoned up MOGO a while back and said exactly what you just said, and the reason for this change is that these new stickers are actually waterproof so should last longer the old ones, albeit that the old ones were more attractive.
