You will get booked in Victoria as
well for anything hanging from the mirror, it is deemed to be blocking the drivers view.
As for P/L plates, the law in Vict. states that the plates must be on the front and rear of the vehicle, in the past this has meant on the "front" and the "rear", but
Police are letting people get away with this if they are visible on the windows, but only if the are not obscuring the drivers vision. There is a template that is used to determine "drivers vision".
In NSW you will note that P/L plates are actually on the "front & rear" of the vehicles.
As for Rego stickers, most of the older forumites will remember when cars had vent windows on the front doors,
well that is where the sticker was supposed to be, but with those windows gone from modern vehicles and with the advent of left mirrors on all cars the rules had to be changed to allow for this, in Vict, the suggested area in on the lower left of the windscreen, they don't like them up high as they are often obscured by window tint, I believe in NSW the labels are recommeded to be on the left rear window, I am not sure of this, so will stand corrected.
