Then everything seems to be up to the gods of road taxes , I,ve never understood the logic in you cant rego you vehicle unless warrants up to date but if you put on hold because vehicle needs repairs to bring up to standards for a warrant and rego has lapse a little they want you too pay the out standing part , even thou has no warrant.
Maybe that old saying applies " never believe anything you hear and only half of what you see "
The ideal thing would be for warrant and rego to be one package so if only riding 6 months of the year , that's what you pay for, If you leave it for to long the 12 month lapse crap thing would still apply but i suppose that's to simple and I,m dreaming lol
