Damn VIC roads are annoying, yes we will take your NSW Licence/Photo ID off you you will get your new vic licence in 7-10 days.....
Dont worry VIC roads I totally wanted to take my Passport with me to a music festival this weekend....
Does anyone know why they dont have Licence printers in the VIC Roads offices?

AND WHAT!!!!!!!! have a system that actually works in an efficient manner that would reduce the overall running costs of Vic Roads thus reducing our rego costs...Hmmm..NUP!

Makes me appreciate going into an RTA for a licence renewal and walking away with the new licence 20 mins later.

Hahaha yea I know.
At least in vic I go onto my full bike licence saving myself 6 months worth of green p's...
If only I could actually afford a new bike it might actually be that bit more sweet hahahah

sounds like they are like what NSW was 20 years ago probably still have to take your camera film to the local chemist and pick the photos up in 10 days

Yeah hearing ya but what a pain in the arse is seeking insurance and paying that and rego separate, that being said, we don't actually get a choice of insurer here in Vic, it's the TAC or the TAC. To the OP, your rego costs are actually fuck all, it's the TAC component that slugs you and Vic Roads has naff all to do with that.

Yeah but the TAC covers you pretty much no matter what in acco's including wages, semi private hospital care, full rehab, and choice of doctor and for life on the actual injuries received. There are a few exceptions like criminal activity etc, but medical is covered, or use to be for everyone.

I suspect they do the delay on licenses for security reasons, there was a big scam a few years back with forged licenses being made.

Sucks.. but I would have argued to keep your old licence until you recieved the new one in the mail..
RE: Licence Security.. recently had my licence renewed and it took 7 working days.. they are a fair bit different, more transparent windows etc..

Boogie woogie

Late post I know. I think it's because of the new licences here in Vic.
They can't simply be produced in the offices at the moment because they can't replicate the security features.
