    LOL, they were a real pain, i could never understand why we needed to stick a sticker on the windscreen. QLD must be the last state in the world to remove those stickers...

    Before we lost our labels here in SA, you also had the option of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months rego. If you had the sticker on for three months, it'd peel off real easy. 9 or 12 months, good luck with removing it without taking your windscreen with it.

    ... Yes, they are. And they weren't sticky like ours - so you had to have a holder attached to the windscreen to hold it in place.

    The UK have also done something crafty - they've ended the transfer of car tax (technically "vehicle excise duty"). When you sell a car, you now cancel your tax - and get a refund on the unused period. And the new owner taxes the car, and they get their chosen length of time, and the renewal is from when they bought the car.

    But they've retained the "whole months" thing they do -- so you only get refunded whole months, and they have to pay for whole months. So every time a car changes hands, they get two months of tax for the same month, one from the seller, one from the buyer. Crafty...

    The reason why we are taxed so much by governments is because they need to pay people to come up with ways to tax us more. Very taxing. *

    * If this reply is seen as political I apologise in advance.

    Will be removing my sticker at the weekend. Saw a black Merc coupe at the shops today with adhesive stain from a hastily removed sticker. Come to think of it they were parked in a disabled bay without an appropriate sticker or other relevant markings.

    Who leaves their "service due at xxxxxx km" stickers on?

    I do my own services so no sticker. I hate anything on my car! Have bought two cars new and first thing I do is pull the dealer stickers and no. plate surrounds off.

    I do, more so for the date then the km's. I know my km interval but I usually hit the date before the k's so that keeps me in check. I would lose track if I relied only on the service book
