It just goes against you’re other statement - on one hand your saying you can drive a car interstate that doesn’t meet state regulations (say my bog standard car without a pink slip), but then you say you can’t - unless there is actually legislation stating about the standard vehicle bit aren’t they all in the same category? Either complying with state legislation or not? If there is a difference in how these are viewed, then there will be a law written somewhere stating this I’m sure.

As we’re not Lawyers (unless you are? I’m sure as **** not! &#128518 I guess it’s only speculation on both sides huh...

A pink slip is required to register the vehicle in NSW, not to drive. Different states have different hoops to jump through for rego, but recognise each other's rego.

A commercial vehicle can. Under that section of the constitution vehicles could be operated on interstate routes without paying rego, hence the old IS plates, where only third party insurance was payable. This was superseded by the FIR scheme, as the federal government could charge taxes disallowed by States.

I have driven interstate on many occasions and have also transferred vehicle and drivers licences over without any problems whatsoever, That is what I am backing up my statement with
I think you ARE being factitious BTW.

What happens if you drive a car without a current pink slip?

So, they would recognize the registrations of the fellow from Mildura.

What about the placement of light bars, fishing rod holders etc. that have different rulings in different states.
A Bog standard vehicle that is registered Anywhere in Australia can travel anywhere in Aus, It's the Mods that people do to their vehicles that can be problematic.

If the Light bar is legal fitment in State of Registration, then it’s legal to pass through the other states with it in place.

Rod holders and ALL forward protrusions that can harm pedestrians are banned everywhere - more just tolerated in some areas than others.

Legal mods - legal to the state of registration - are fine for travel through other states... this includes engineering certificates for big lifts, larger rubber, engine modifications etc..

A triple road train can be legally driven in Queensland but not in Victoria, they don't even allow doubles.
