Hey all,
I know alot of people who use the M5, ride on the line between lanes when going through the toll gates to avoid the toll. I was informed today that they now have a new camera to catch these people. If you do get caught you get a $140ish fine. That would be an expensive commute. I don't know if this applies to the other toll rods.

Yep, you'd think with the amount of rego we pay in NSW we should have toll free roads aswell but don't get me started.

How can I accidentally obscure my numberplate ? I have seen some dodgy cars with number plates so worn out. How do they do this ? Sand blast ?
For long touring I have been thinking "mudspray".
