Numberplates

[busdriver]

I saw this car the other with a number attached to the roof rack. Is this actually legal?

In Victoria number plates are required to be affixed not more than 1.3m above the ground, except:
"The requirements in subregulations (1)(a) to (d) do not apply to a number plate for a vehicle if—
(a) due to the construction of the vehicle it is not practicable to comply with the requirements; and
(b) the number plate is affixed in a way that complies as far as practicable with the requirements."

Many garbage trucks have the plate affixed at the top of the rear of the vehicle.
