Thread: series 3 good buy?

I was led to believe that in N.S.W. the vehicle must pass an inspection before a permit to drive an unregistered vehicle may be issued.

From the RTA web site:

Unregistered Vehicle Permits (UVPs)

Unregistered Vehicle Permits (UVPs) can be issued for a wide variety of purposes. They are valid for up to 28 days in all States and Territories except Western Australia.
Vehicles carrying a commercial load and vehicles exempt from registration cannot be issued with a UVP.
Obtaining an Unregistered Vehicle Permit

If you're already on the RTA's computer system you can request a UVP by phone, provided you have access to a fax machine and a valid credit card.
Otherwise, you will need to visit a NSW motor registry in person, or authorise a representative to attend on your behalf and provide:

• Proof of identity. If you send a representative they will need to prove their identity.
• A document that proves the vehicle is roadworthy (eg a safety inspection report or a Customer Declaration of Roadworthiness for specific vehicles).
• A completed Application for Unregistered Vehicle Permit form, available from the Registration Forms link, below.
• The applicable fee.

The UVP includes an administration fee and CTP insurance. However, this CTP insurance only covers you on roads or road-related areas (eg footpaths, nature strips, public driveways, public carparks etc), but not on private property.
When your application is accepted, you will be issued with a permit and a label. The permit explains the vehicle's road access entitlements and should be carried in the vehicle. The label must be displayed clearly at all times.

Driving unregistered vehicles:

Unregistered vehicles can be driven for the purpose of obtaining registration by the most direct or convenient route:

• to the nearest convenient motor registry, or
• to the nearest convenient vehicle inspection station or authorised inspection station to determine whether the vehicle complies with the applicable vehicle standards, or
• in the course of inspecting or testing the vehicle to determine if it complies with the applicable vehicle standards, or
• to the nearest practicable weighbridge to determine the weight of the vehicle, or
• from a motor registry or inspection station where the registration of the vehicle has been refused, to the nearest convenient place where necessary repairs can be made or where the vehicle can be garaged, unless a direction has been issued that the vehicle must not be driven before the necessary repairs have been made, or
• from an authorised inspection station to the nearest convenient place where necessary repairs or adjustments can be made or where the vehicle can be garaged, or
• to the nearest convenient office of a licensed insurer for the purpose of obtaining Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance, or
• to the nearest convenient location for any other purpose directly associated with the registration process.

The fines are a killer ie unregistered/uninsured (ctp)....

Yes ...

Much more dangerous these days as the Police use cameras to detect unregistered vehicles whilst on patrol and with stationary cameras often attached to RBT stations. It will cost you 2 offences: driving an unregistered vehicle and driving an uninsured vehicle both a few hundred dollars a pop.

Much better to get the pink slip and an UVP.

Yes I saw this the other week in Melbourne. As I approached the booze bus, I saw a weird little camera on the side of the road - flashing every vehicle. At first I thought it was a speed camera, but we were only doing about 20kmh.
Beyond the RBT area, the constabulary were pulling over vehicles for what must have been rego infringements and unroadworthy vehicles. Sneaky buggers.

Nonetheless, I have always wondered what is more dangerous , driving at 70kmh in a 60kmh zone in a roadworthy vehicle, or driving an HK Kingswood with stuffed brakes and suspension.
