Australia's Funniest Bogan Car
【Summary】A P-plater in Sydney came up with a creative solution after their car's bumper fell off. They stuck a hand-written cardboard numberplate on the front with a note to police, asking not to be pulled over. The bizarre image was posted on Facebook, with users joking about the driver's attempt to keep driving. The NSW Government website states that number plates must be legible and not obscured. The only exception is for auxiliary plates used for unregistered attachments.
A P-plater has come up with an interesting solution to continue driving after the car's front bumper 'fell off'. The driver stuck a hand-written cardboard numberplate on the front of the vehicle with a note to police. 'Bumper fell off, getting to mechanic. Please don't pull me over,' the message on the cardboard sign reads followed by a smiley face and love heart. Written underneath is the vehicle's registration number and the letters NSW.
Visitors at Top Ryde Shopping Centre in Sydney spotted the banged-up Honda Accord Euro in the carpark with one person posting the bizarre image to Humans of Eastwood Daily Facebook page. A Honda Accord has been spotted with a home-made registration plate (pictured) that claims the car's front bumper 'fell out' and they were in the process of taking it to a mechanic.
Facebook users were aghast at the attempt to keep driving with the home-made numberplate. '(The driver) can afford a custom number plate, (but) can't take the car to a mechanic ASAP,' one user joked. Another user commented that they should follow the driver's lead and 'restyle my own plate'.
The NSW Government website states that registration plates just be 'clear, clean, untinted and flat over the entire surface' and if one plate is larger than the other, the largest must be fixed to the rear of the vehicle. 'It is an offence for drivers and registered operators of vehicles if its number plates are not fitted properly, obscured, defaced or otherwise not legible,' the website reads.
The only exception to home-made registration plates are auxiliary plates, used for unregistered attachments to the back of a car that obstructs the rear plate. All auxiliary and registration plates must be visible from 20metres away and from a 45 degree angle to either side, and above the car.
