HELMET NUMBER PLATES INTRODUCED
Victorian motorcyclists will need to display a front number plate from next month onwards, under new laws passed by the Victorian Government last night. Motorcyclists will need to visit their nearest VicRoads branch by 30 April and print out an envelope-sized sticker (at a cost of $19.95) – which they will need to attach to the front of their helmets. Victoria’s top traffic cop, Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill, said bikers have been getting away with speeding offences for way too long, claiming that 61 percent of bikers caught speeding by CityLink cameras escaped a fine because of the lack of front number plates. Will you buy a sticker or run the risk of a $900 fine?
