I thought that they would bring out a new slogan to coincide with the end of the run of the current AAA-111 format, which will soon run out as they are now up to Z (but probably not until well into next year). Bringing out a new slogan for the current format, and then changing the format a year later, seems rather silly.

How about they get with the times and put a website on the plate, like most US states do. i.e. Florida has "myflorida.com"

I once tried to get the custom plate "ND4SPD" from the NFS game, but it was already taken.

I would be happy with that slogan. I would then go buy a bottle of white out.

New Jersey in the US has the slogan "Garden State" - same as Victoria back in the 80s.

All states suck when it comes to driving.

BUT, that slogan sucks and its just asking for people to deface it... maybe thats the point. Whats the fine for defacing government property?

Looks like the road toll will be dropping to 0 as of the date of implementation of these new plates. Good work, team!

I like "stay alert, stay alive"

Its exactly what would, if people would stay alert save 99% of deaths! however it wont happen as its the law that makes people Not alert!

All the red turning arrows, low speed limits causing boredom etc. Look at people around you, they are in their own little world with glazed over eyes.

I may be passing everyone, even going through red light arrows when no ones around(after looking carefully) and speeding most of the time, but I am very alert. :-)

There's no doubt this new slogan will save hundreds of lives.

I wonder how many people will have accidents while being distracted by reading the new slogans.

... and I thought "The Place to Be" was stupid when we visited Melbourne in summer 04/05.

I prefer my plain n simple "Western (random blue and yellow setting sun over ocean) Australia"
