I'm guessing the fun police say No. Cool idea though.

Or stealing fuel?
Or robbing shops?
or ........................
Wouldn't wanna get caught with that on. :police: :police:
I'd prefer this to my current situation of holding the etag up with my left hand
If I lived in Brissy or Logan I would be buying it now. What R they gonna do?
Search youtube for "number plate flipper" and you'll see heaps
I am so tempted to get one
It is legal.. As long as you dont use it while riding :p

Why if you were in brissy?
There are models out there that are higher quality, i.e. they flip up a lot quicker then 2 seconds.

Toll roads
Couple of riders were using them down here for the Causeway...
Got pics of repeat offenders, found out what times they rode (guess it was back and forth to work)
And, caught them.
Just pay the damn toll.
I use toll roads only when making abnormal trips into the city.
Nothing regular.
My neighbour is a cop so I'll ask him what the deal is if "only using it when not on publici roads etc"
Pretty sure any device used to obscure a license plate is illegal.

That's why they can Fine you for having an obscure plate.
And Cods... before you go getting yourself one, do remember your rego label has your number plate number on it too? You'd better hope the multiple cameras don't get that otherwise they'll zoom in and get you anyway.
If you're going to consciously do the wrong thing by using this to avoid tolls, why not just remove your plate, carry it with you and if you get pulled over say it fell off and you'll reaffix it when you get to work. Or just put someone else's plate on and ride - if you get pulled over for a plate check plead ignorance that the plate must have been swapped by someone.
Not that I recommend doing such things, just saying, that if you are going to knowingly do something wrong, why not do it properly without spending extra money to do it either.

I dont need it anyway as I dont go through tolls and I never do anything illegal anyway :bs:
