IOW there's a reason for the usual ritual of going down to the regoffice together

<snip>

With the introduction of speed cameras, does the Land Transport Office have a form the seller fills in, in case the new owner doesn't transfer the registration, so you do not get fines in the mail?

It's up to the seller to complete the transfer transaction at the Transport Dept. If the seller just signs the paperwork without checking the buyer actually does the transfer and the buyer does not bother completing (to save paying the transfer tax) then the Transport will assumes that the old owner still owns the vehicle.

However when the new owner goes to pay the annual tax (assuming he bothers to do that) then any fines owning must be paid before the new tax disc is issued.

Thanks. I bought my bike brand new, from the dealer. They did all the paperwork. At the time, I thought it was just part of the service, it propbably is, but as the seller, they have to anyway.

I'll keep your post in mind, when it comes time to sell.
