That section is under the unregistered vehicles section, meaning you also need a permit.

If the car is un-rego'd then ignore the rest of what im typing.

I cannot see any reference to towing a registered vehicle in that manner, so it might be a grey area it would seem.

I'd suggest calling VicRoads and ask them to point you in the correct direction/area of their website where you can read it if you want to be 100% certain.

OR

Just do it anyway. Screen dump the VicRoads page, and say "well it's legal with a permit for un-rego, so given i have rego i do not need a permit" - should work.

I think as long as you are resonable and have the hazards on, use a rope, the car being towed has operational tail-lights etc they won't give you too much grief over it especially if you are not going very far.

You can only move an unregistered vehicle on the road when:

  • driving with an Unregistered Vehicle Permit
  • driving to VicRoads for a vehicle registration inspection
  • towing – on a trailer or behind a registered vehicle.

The way that reads i would (and have in the past) conclude that if your driving it any where but to vic roads you need a permit but if you towing it behind a registered vehicle you dont need a permit, have done this before and was over taken by a cop and they did nothing.

a simple sign in the window or on the boot or bumper stating "ON TOW" alsio gives people a heads up too to stay clear and give you some room. every time i've had to tow my mates R-100 we've done that and never had any hassle from the cops, and even had a few drive past us as its on tow. just a little common courtesy i guess goes a long way at times :no:

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
