If my memory serves me correctly, Major Crash vehicles start from A*25* (as opposed to normal Traffic being A*2**), and MARKED Major Crash cars have the RED stripe (not to be confused with the orange stripe of the Highway Patrol cars).

Think outside the square fellas.

I was taking the piss....This car looks a little sunburnt....looks like it has failed to slip, slop and slap..and the penalty is $250 bucks and 3 demerits..

I couldnt give a rats how it is or isn't parked, was just commenting on the blackened stickers.

oh well Tom people around here aren't taking sarcasm these days unfortunately.

And just a stab in the dark but can I guess that this vehicle was around some fires maybe? Haven't seen normal wear and tear from the sun do that before.

It happens to numerous vehicles. Is due to sun damage. When most vehicles from up north are exchanged, the old ones come back with stickers in worse condition... if any stickers at all. They seem to peel off pretty easy

Just the reflective vinyl thats all, because the wapol turn the vehicles over pretty quick they just the basic stuff otherwise they would use the more expensive 3m reflective (like fesa/sja) im guessing iff the vehicles were kept longer.

TG103 (Forensics) is also suffering the same fate

I rekon the bonnets would get pretty warm too considering the vehicles are on the road constantly and the motors would become fairly hot during pursuits. I wonder if this could affect the stickers at all??

Just a thought.

Cheers

Possibly but I don't see 4WD's getting involved with pursuits...

Spotted HF103 yesterday on Roe Hwy with the same "sunburnt" logo on the bonnet.
