Thread: Roadworth / Rego Questions

1968 will need lap type seat belts for front seating positions.
Does NOT require w/screen washers.
Does NOT require reversing lamps.
DOES require number plate lamp.

In NSW you will require a blue slip for rego. You will NOT require a pink slip.

If you tell the RMS (formally RTA) that the number plates were not attached when you purchased the vehicle, you should not be hit with a late transfer fee.

Thanks Cookey, really useful information.

I plan to fit bench seats in the back of my 1968 LWB, will these need to be fitted with seatbelts in order to pass the roadworthy? Also, is it legal to have six people sat in the back?

Thanks

Mine's five years older and a shorty, but is registered as a seven seater with four bench seats in the back. Legally they can only be used once the forward facing seats are filled, and if I have the truck cab on, they can't be used.
I don't know about seatbelt laws in your instance.

According to rego papers, my 1967 shorty is only registered for 3, so that's all I can legally carry.
It was blue slipped last Xmas with no seat belts, but required mud flaps and numberplate light. Had windscreen washer but wasn't checked.

I have a question about my '78 series 3 SWB. What seat belts would be required to pass safety cert. QLD? It currently has lap sash belts anchored to a roll bar I wish to remove.

My 78 LWB with nsw reg has lap/sash on the outboard seats and lap on the middle seat the lap sash are attached to a bracket on the bulkhead not a roll bar

Now the issue, I failed to notify the authority that I had taken ownership. Now the rego has expired and it will need a new pink and blue slip (I think?).

So in order to get it back on the road, do I first need to take it in for the roadworthy check? Then go to the RTA and re-register? Will I get a fine for failing to notify them of the change in ownership (which was close to a year and a half ago). If there's any way of avoiding a fine that would be appreciated!

Also, can you tell me if it needs to have seatbelts fitted for the roadworthy test? It's a 1968 year model and does it need windscreen washers and rear numberplate light?

Many Thanks

If the person/car yard you purchased the vehicle off presented his half of the rego papers (disposal of motor vehicle) to the RTA (as required) you are more than likely going to be fined for not transfering ownership title into your name, I think the limit is 14 days, Regards Frank.
