My entire adult life, I’ve heard various people tell me that I need to score my tabs after putting them on “so no one can steal them”. I’ve known many people like myself that find this idea absurd, and don’t bother with scoring. How did this idea become mainstream advice?

    No because this is a double solved issue in Australia. Firstly the sticker was single application from the inside of the car. If you tried to remove it parts of the info would be left behind in the window which alsoade it a pain to replace them every year. Also if you have broken into the car may as well drive off with it.
    Secondly, we don’t have them anymore cop cars have plate readers and a hook into the department of transportation so they can look up if the rego has been paid.
