Police Permits

[D-limo]

How lenient are our friends in blue when they issue these fine pieces of paper? Will rims sticking outside the guards, low ride height etc get passed?

if u are talking about a day permit, u can get the from the dept of transport, which allows you to drive the car where ever between the hours in which the permit starts and ends.

if u arent driving very far, then it should be ok but if u are planning on constantly driving round the more chances of u getting picked on i guess. like i drove my car from maroochydore to caloundra this morning with no exhuast on it, so it oculd get fiuxed, but if i kept driving round with no exhuast then i woulda got picked up for sure. by the way RB with no exhuast = spooling loudly....

85URK you make it sound too easy!

Firstly you have to organise third party insurance.

Then on the appliction form it states-

If the vehicle does not comply with the transport operations (Road Use Management - Vehicle standards and Safety) Regulation 1999 a Police Permit must be obtained

Haha that would have been good to see the 33 screaming off it's tits

I have actually done this my self twice.... Third party insurance... which one (compulsary or the non-compulsary one)? as long as you dont plan to run into someone you should be safe (ie. drive like a slow grandma, be extra careful and dont do stupid things). If your only going to a very short distance, you should be fine as long as you get the one day permit thing.

Yeah what ever insurance is the cheapest.

So did you not have to apply for a police permit? What mods did your car have? Was it inspected?

I'll probably look at getting a permit to last around a week.. Whats the go with trade plates? Can they be used to get a vehicle from where it's stored to a workshop?

Drift limo if your after a Day Permit, you'll need as you said a above, a Police one. Transport won’t give them out on non-complied cars in Queensland.

Obviously you get these ones from the Police station.. I've seen your car they will tell you to tow it, lol.

I've used trade plates on non complied cars to get them around, as I said above transport won't issue pass's on imports with no compliance/ADR plates.

They inspected my bog stock n/a R32 4 door when I went in to get a day pass too, which had all been ADR'd.

relistically i think almost evey mod to my car is a defect. you'd be surprised what's illegal. every mod should really have a mod plate & emissions shouldn't be harmed in any way. Just dont do anything to stand out where u know there is a police presence.

Haha there goes that idea then. See I'm making an effort to abide by the rules, they just make it too hard sometimes..

Hopefully who ever does the tune are lax with their trade plates.

Didnt get a police permit, but I got a day permit from DOT for it... My cars are always standard (sif list all the mods out on the internet).... It was inspected and complied tho (sorry I thought you car is already complied).

Using a trade plate Nismo_Boy already answered it.

Dude tow it. Little Nisemo boy is right.
