Driveaway?

Hi people,

My GTT should be receiving the plates soon ( been over 2 weeks) . Once that plate is on, can i drive the car from the dealership to register under my name..?

u can drive a uncomp'd car around..... if u ring up "inset state here" roads and call for a day pass or watever it is, u need 2 explain it to them and you need to go down there to get it sused out

ACTUALLY you CANNOT drive a uncomplied fresh off the boat car around LEGALLY. I have already asked the question to QT when I went for my trade plate. once it is complied then yes - providing you have the insurance and day pass done for it.

just to clarify the above point.

I don't think he's talking about a FOB car Chris, but one that's just got compliance plates from the RAWS.

Depends on your state. In NSW you are allowed to drive an unregistered car specifically for the purposes of acquiring registration (eg to get a blue slip, to a weighbridge, to the RTA, etc). Has to be via the most direct route and you should keep paperwork with you at all times in case you get pulled over.

Even with an unregistered vehicle permit, it's only supposed to be used for registration purposes or transporting the vehicle, i.e., you're not SUPPOSED to use it to get groceries at safeway or anything like that, just for getting a roadworthy, going to your Dept. of Motor Vehicles, etc.
