[PREISS]

righteo

taking my car to boostworx wed. As its double defected I cant drive it, which sux.

whats the best towing place? price etc.

u still got rego on it, coz then just get a permit saying ur taking it to a place of repair.

[PREISS]

no rego on it.

regecncy said Id have to get it towed everywhere once its double defected.

not sure if thats right. pretty annoying tho

Might be cheaper in the end to hire a car trailer and tow it yourself (or a mate). Then you can winch it up slowly

[Krishy]

mine was triple defected and they gave me permits to drive to a place of repair

it will just cost you $50 everytime you get a permit to drive to and from a certain place for that day

[PREISS]

I can get ahold of a car trailer. mate has one.

I was told you may need a high sitting car to tow it tho, like a 4 wheel drive .

I guess I should check it out tho.

but did your car have rego ? would be alot easier that way forsure.

+ I get to drive my car again

When I got defected, I got told that I had to tow the car anywhere and everywhere...

I had it registered but then after august the rego ran out

so i drove around in september for a bit with permits and no registration

coz when you pay permit you pay CTP insurance as well i think its a third part one

What the....that cop must have been on some good shit

[calaisturbo5speed]

$48 for place of repair permit, (can be used for up to 3 days of driving)

just put on there that you are taking it to one place of repair (up north) and one down south using all main roads.

Doesnt matter if car is unregoed, mine was.

happy driving

[PREISS]

awesome. hope it works.

just go to the cop shop and get the permit ?

hasnt been in rego since July, doesnt matter ?\ wouldnt mind taking it to the carwash too

[calaisturbo5speed]

you have to buy the permits from transport sa,

it works, i even got caught driving down the beach but they let me go.

suppose i got sum good cops

[PREISS]

yeah I expect to get pulled over.

I was pulled over 3 times in oneday once with a single defect sticker on.

I was told by some people that a double defect is worse and Id need to get towed.

glad I know now.

[CRoNic...]

That's crazy dude. I drove around for a good 5 weeks or so with a double defect and never got pulled over (I had a permit).

I even drove around the GTR before it was even registered in Australia on permits with no number plates and not a single cop pulled me over. I even drove past a few and had a few follow me! It's weird how it all works...

I called TransportSA recently when I was defected. I was told they no longer issue these permits. I had the girl confirm it with her manager, he said as your car is technically still not roadworthy it can't be driven and that loop hole had be closed. Looks like they lied to me those pricks.

You expected any sort of honesty out of a government dept?
