Numbers on the road.
It used to be illegal in NSW but the rules were changed.
I think it may still be illegal in Victoria.
I am not sure about Qld.

They would be illegal for a CAMS event. :wink:

A long time ago there was a law passed to prevent cars from racing on the roads and if a car drove down the road with a number on it the police could charge the driver with "Competing in an illegal event"
I think the law was dropped in nsw about the time that police cars got numbers stuck on the roof! :lol:

What can they do? Take your Birthday away? Cancel Christmas?

The sticker looks tops, give it a go!

I was pulled over 3 times whislt driving my rally car home from rallies with the competition number still on the car, never booked just spoken to, after that i would put a electrical tape cross over the numbers, never had a problem after that, personally i can't see the harm in it.

I dont know who else I speak for, but I drive a 998 stock Mini Deluxe with an exhaust. Good for 24.5HP and 0-60 in 12 seconds... or something similarly as slow. It only gets to 100 on a freeway

Its all RICE... no race...

Magnetic numbers do not work.....

They blow off on the track and they get pinched on the road.
