Its not hard to keep track of these - every rig has its own folder with all rego details etc - just look at them and know when they need renewal. Its not hard. I don't get at all, how remembering a renewal date for only 1 single vehicle can be difficult ??
People whinge about 'nanny-state' stuff all the time.....and as soon as we have to think for ourselves - then its the governments fault for not reminding us !!! Can't have it both ways......

I dont know how you remember too keep track of all those vehicles, must have a cushy job to give you that much time, thats enough vehicles to create a fleet managers job aye!
I dont have as many rego's to worry about and as I have explained before I drive a lot of customers vehicles and fleet vehicles and now we have to spend an extra 10 mins checking the rego out online before anyone drives any of them, i cant see how this is better for anyone as it adds more to their bill and I waste time which wasnt required before. I suppose red tape and creating more of it is the way of life for some of us
i am not whinging at all I am actually saying bring back that level of governance (rego stickers), very left wing of me but it is how it has worked for decades and yeah its old tech but it fuckin worked good and a whole lot easier to remember to remember to look in some file inside a house amoungst all the other paperwork junk when all you do is look at the windscreen where there is a handy sticker with a big fukoff expiry date so even the numtyiest of numptys cant miss it.
All you care about is a stoopid sticker on the back of your bike and the fark you attitude towards mr and mrs public average numptywits, next thing you will be wanting FNP's, higher ctp, lower speed limits, compulsory headlights on for all road users and hi farkin vis
In otherwords I dont have time to be worrying about rego as I have better things to do and rego labels made it easy for us outdoor types.
