My ACT rego papers say 1495kg
Yeah man, I have no idea! Apparently they just put my VIN number in and it automatically came up as 1545KG. I know it's only $145 a year, but why pay more than you have to right?
The workshop said that 1545KG is what the car was originally registered with hence why it was in the system. I showed them manufacturer's specs which clearly stated 1495kg AND their own spec sheet said 1495KG, but they still refused to change it. They said the car may have had extra accessories adding weight etc...WTF!!!???
Anyways, a call to the RTA Technical guys today made it clear they should have used the manufacturer's Spec sheet and should have changed it accordingly, otherwise they are in breach or the rules and regulations. I called up the workshop this morning and they still stuck to their original story so I asked them to call the RTA... workshop called back 10mins later asking when I wanted to pick up amended blue slip
