I've heard a rumor that it is legal to drive your car to and from the blue slip without rego, as long as you can prove that you were driving it to obtain a blue slip.

Is that true?

I would like to save myself $160 in towing fees if possible.

Cheers

Just make sure your booked in and take the most direct root to the blue slip inspection station and put a note in your glovebox dated that you are going to get a blue slip inspection.

Make sure it is road worthy eg lights tyres etc and make sure that its only you in the car as well, as i supose they could book you for that if they wanted to

yep its susposed legal

I did it about 2 weeks ago but needed tyers so the guys gave me the white slip so i could go to tyre shop and get new ones fitted

But on the way back i got pulled over by the men in blue but talked my way out of it and justified by showing them the paper work I made out i was trying to find the shortest way back top blue slip place they werent impressed but let me go

as per above make sure you havea booking and get a Green slip before if you can
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

It is certainly legal, provided, as Rose said, you're driving the vehicle to or from an authorised place of inspection (or repair) for the purposes of obtaining registration.

If you are driving on the most direct route, and have the vehicle booked in, you will not be given an infringement notice for a registration related offence. You may of course however receive one for another traffic offence such as exceding the posted speed limit etc (obviously).

Best of luck getting through the inspection. 👍

Thanks for clearing that up.

I now need to see a panel beater about getting the bonnet to lock, and more to the point unlock. Would that be classified as a repair that I could drive it to and get sorted before a blue slip?

that used to be the case in QLD many moons ago, but now we are required to get CTP insurance on the day we go to get the car registered. Initially you still need a day permit or trailer the car to a roadworthy inspection station (unless you know someone who does house calls for RWCs). If it passes, you can drive directly to Main roads (most direct route) as long as you have the CTP in your glovebox. A bit convoluted and confusing, but then again, so is life........ 😀
