I left Noosa in my XA GT at 3pm and drove straight to Sydney on a UVP, Nothing like flying along at midnight in an XA GT with no number plates.
Of course I was very very careful to stay within the posted speed limit too. One of the best road trips I've ever had. |

I think the point Flappist is making is a valid one, an unregistered vehicle being moved under permit
for reasons other than going to or from mechanic for safety certificate or repairs to comply is really running the gauntlet... |

The permit actually states can be driven the most direct route home after purchase. If the OP drives the car straight home from Queensland to S.A, he will not have an issue with cops. That is why the permit is valid all states except W.A. |

The best road trip i've had was picking up my eb from tungamah vic at the start of the year. I think it was 2200km back to rocky on a vic permit, left there tuesday arve got home early thursday morning it was bloody awesome the old v8 didn't miss a beat. To the op will the seller leave the rego on and you get your own roadie in wa and do transfer or cancel it when you get there. They won't get stuff all back on the rego cause you lose your ctp ins which is more than the rego. |

NSW RTA allows you to drive a unregistered vehicle without a permit at all, to get repaired / or inspected for rego (to the closest inspection station or repair shop). I just did it in my XY GT 6 months ago, had the plod next to me and behind me for a while, no number plates and half an exhaust. No problem at all. I had all the rules printed out on my passenger seat if they wanted a chat. Even had the relevant ones highlighted for easy reference. That is not what a UVP is for. A UVP is used to move an unregistered vehicle for any reason. |

You cant set times as they always run from 12 midnight and are valid for 24 hrs. But you can set dates ie: if you wanted to leave on Friday night (after midnight), you could go into DOT on Wed, Thurs or Fri and organise one that starts Saturday from 12:00am. I dont know what constitutes a valid reason for permits in all states but in Qld and NSW if you simply want to move the vehicle from one place to another, the permits are perfectly legal to do so. No need to be going to a repairer etc. OP, hope you dont need a permit issued in NSW, they do require a mechanical report to issue one. At least they did 3 or so yrs ago. Someone from NSW can clear this up, but IIRC depending on circumstance for normal reg they need what they call either a blue and green slip. Every so many years they need a green, and in between those each year they need a blue one. The green is more stringent or thorough. As the car is not NSW reg, it will need the more stringent one first time even to get a permit. That COULD be a nightmare. |

pink slip = our RWC that we have to have done every 12 months for rego renewal (unless the car is under 5 years old)...pink slip is also what you need for the URV permit... green slip= its just what our CTP is called to get an URV permit in NSW you get a pink slip remove the plates (if attached) go to the RTA fill out a form, pay for it and off you go..no need for CTP green slip as the RTA does it for you.. cost me $18 at the RTA for an URV permit to drive a car from tamworth to the central coast..oh and $35 for the pinky.. |

Prior to the Safety Certificate you could buy the car with it registered in the original owner's name, drive it home, then you had 14 days to get a RWC yourself and get it transfered into your own name. Since the introduction of the Safety Certificate the seller MUST have the SC before they offer a registered car for sale, and it must be displayed on the vehicle while it is offered for sale. Vehicles without a SC are sold as "parts or restoration" and the registration must be cancelled and plates handed in before being offered for sale. Penalty $500. This information is on the wall at DOT offices and is on their website.

There is an understanding that the vehicle has to be safe and in roadworthy condition, that's the difference, he's not taking it for roadworthy, it's going on a long trip. Let's say the tyres are near bald, the brakes and suspension worn out and it draws the attention of police in another state along the way, what do you do then? So there is an expectation that basic safety items have to be right and the car in near roadworthy condition. |

The only thing other than those things mentioned he has to worry about is will it make it? Its been mentioned, he is aware of that risk. Its up to him to make that assessment or organise someone more qualified to look at it. |

two pages of posts tells me we need a federal rego system, like they have for trucks (federal interstate).
last time i got a unreg permit i drove a car from Sale to home in NSW. to get a VIC permit all i had to do was fax a copy of my drivers license to them and pay the permit fee. for a NSW one, i had to get a RWC and take it to a RTA office. i bought the VIC one because it was hassle free by comparison (90% of trip was VIC anyway). The only problem i had was the petrol station wouldn't sell me any fuel because the car had no plates on it.

Who makes the assessment of how close to RW it is? The applicant thats who. That includes people who wouldnt know where to put oil in let alone if the suspension is OK, or what it even looks like. RW? Not even close. You can get a permit for a car that will require $5,000 in work to get a RWC. |

and I'm basically agreeing with you, people moving a car under permit have obligations to ensure it is basically safe to do so and have compulsory third party. Last edited by jpd80; 11-10-2011 at 07:21 PM. |

If it were me I would get the permit in SA before I left.
$43 bucks for 14 days from memory. No RWC required in SA so ignore all the RWC permit advice.... I have done it several times, just check the tyres, the oil , lights etc... hop in and drive the baby home. |

Drove an EF wagon from Melbourne to Brisbane via Sydney for family a few months back on a permit. As others have said, I had no dramas from the cops, although having the plates still on the car proably helped. Also made sure the car was OK before the trip, had time beforehand to give it a service for the trip - purchased the car at auction for them a month before so had the time to get it sorted.

This page says it all: tmr.qld.gov.au
Vechicle needs to be in safe condition, not neccasarily road worthy condition. Permit needs to be obtained in the state the journey starts. All states (excluding WA) have reciprocal arrangements so that a vehicle may travel through other states and territories with a Queensland-issued permit. |
