Are you allowed to drive an unregistered vehicle for rego purpose?

Say, weigh bridge, blue slip, engineers slip etc?

Yes,
You are allowed to drive to obtain Your blue slip etc

naturally you are allowed to drive to a garage who does this..

You don't need number plates to do this...

I've also heard that u have to have an appointment with your destination....could be wrong tho

carry a letter of intent outlining your journey and the way you are travelling with the date and times on it and sign it. That way if the cops pull you up they can see what you are doing and that it's all ok.

Its supposed to be a direct trip there and back, stopping for petrol OK but a quick bite at Maccas may not be seen as a direct route.

Petrol yes, Maccas no, alrighty sounds good.

Anyone know how it works insurance wise? Green slip especially.

depends on the state... in vic you can organise with rta that you are intending to drive an unregistered vehicle to either a repairer or rwc place... i cant remember exactly how long they last as i did it years ago with my oval.. i wondered how the hell i was gonna get it roadworthied and registered if i had to trailer it everywhere. think the permits can last up to a month (either daily, weekly or month etc). BUT you can only drive them directly from your place of residence to the repairer/rwc place/rta and home again. If cops pull you over at least you have rta approval for driving the car. In vic i think its a $500 fine for unregistered vehicle.

check with the rta in your state.

not sure how the insurance side works with an unregistered car.

get your green slip from NRMA
Ring Shannons about insurance 13 46 46

Can people also refresh my memory, done this once before, but.

I need engineers slip, weighbridge ticket and blue slip??? Is this correct?

Ian, i can have green slip without registration? Have cover with shannons at the moment under a 'laid-up' policy

depends on what you have changed???
no ADRs for a 58 bug
Yes you can get green slip before as you need one for rego

Arh yes, sorry been a while. Had a company car for 3years, forgot the process.

I've changed alot http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=67295 

1916 on its way in saturday.

Ah so the motor is back from Nana Glen eh?

Not quite squizy, the 58 is going for a ride upto Nana Glen. She'll sit up back while the rodeo pulls her all the way. Looking forward to this. Figured best to take it up, get it in and check the lot. Got all the roof lining, windows and electric done just in time. Will post pics soon.

it really depends on where You are located..

in Scone I have to drive to Muswellbrook to get a blue slip.

then green slip and rego... all in Muswellbrook..

if i got knocked back on the blue slip I would still have to go back to Muswellbrook...

I drove My beetle with the old plates on it..
No plates does draw attention from the police..
especially the Highway Patrol.. in NSW

I've never heard of anyone getting insurance before they drove to get the blue slip...

having the letter with all the details sounds like good advice...

cheers

Lee

Cheers, green slip advise sounds good. On top of the shannons bit, cheers.

So i need engineers and blueslip???

You wont be able to drive it gack from Nana Glen if thats what yr thinking

and amke sure you take the shortest route to the blue slip place etc etc

No way! Got a trailer, im towing!

call in and see me on your way home from coffs and i will check it over for a blue slip $50.30

yeah i think up here you need a 3rd party rego cert from an insurance co with the specified date on the cert to match the day of intent to go and get regoed at the mechnics then onto MRD..
from my feeble memory hey..

TIP............dont try filling up at the petrol station with no plates on, id pay the attendant first!

I thought you needed a permit for the day. You pay them something which covers your insurance. This is the case with VicRoads anyway. $550 fine if you get caught without the permit

i have had a customer coming in for a blue slip and they got pulled over and they showed the nice police person ther letter and they was ok to go on ther way.

Just drive it to nearest place to inspect it. Get your bluey and pinky. Most certifiers should be able to submit the details online these days. Greenslip over the phone. Registration online. If its registerable there arent any dramas.

what is laid up insurance? Is it possible I can insure my oval even though its not all in one piece?

you can not do Blue Slips Online.
you need the CTP paper work to take to the RTA so if you get the CTP on the net or fone you have to wait for them to post it out.
As your car has no rego, so no records of you or the car at the RTA

Thanks for the offer Ian, but not ready for blueslip for about a month. Go away for 2weeks.

'Laid-up" insurance means its covered for theft or falling off the trailer or fire etc, but you can't drive it!
