Just read in the local paper (
Brisbane) that Qld is looking into doing away with rego stickers. According to the paper WA already doesn't have stickers. The idea is it will save $2m, and that the police can use number plate recognition technology to
check cars are registered as they pass by.

The police have been running number plate recognition camera's in
Melbourne for several months.
One camera set up near the corner of Dorset Road and Ferntree Gully Road was so effective there was a traffic jam created with police pulling over so many vehicles.
The camera recognition takes less than a second to pick up whether your rego has been paid or whether the vehicle has outstanding traffic offences recorded.
Amazing technology.
Thankfully it might stop someone without a licence or an unregistered vehicle from being involved in accidents.
Its a good start anyways.
