Engineers Certs and travelling interstate
Hey
Want to know what the rules are in regards to driving a NSW rego'ed and engineered car into QLD or other states.
Can i get pinned by QLD cops for a car that doesnt comply with their rules, even though its legal in the state its rego'ed in.
Asked a few people but always get different responses.
Cheers

I believe that, technically, a vehicle which is legally registered in its home state may be legally driven in any state - it's supposed to be in the Constitution, guaranteeing freedom of travel between states. However, as noted by nastytroll, that doesn't always work in practice - and what will you do on the side of the road when an officer has defected your vehicle and told you to call a tow truck?
You could try calling Qld DOT and ask for something in writing?

Nice and Vague....
exact definition of "temporarily"
and "should".
If you are travelling interstate and are genuinly concerned, I would write to them, and ask for a signed "letter of conscent" as such, then if you do get pulled over, you stand a bit better chance. An e-mail reply doesn't quite cut it.

Thank you for your email,
Vehicle registration matters is not my area of expertise but as far as I
am aware, providing that vehicle you intend to drive though Queensland is
currently registered in another state of Australia and that the vehicle
compiles to the relevant motor vehicle standards of that state (in your
case VIC) you are allowed temporally drive the vehicle on Queensland
Roads.
For further information it would be advisable to contact your local
Victorian Roads Transport department and ensure your intended travel will
be legal.
Regards

'Temporarily' as opposed to 'permanent relocation'. If you're not changing your address, or forwarding your mail, you shouldn't have any problems.Highway-Star wrote:exact definition of "temporarily"

'should' as in "you should be fine, but I can't guarantee you won't run into some overly officious sphincter with a badge, who has a bad attitude because he's having a bad day, so I'm going to cover my arse and not say 'will'."
or
'should' as in "you should be fine, but for all I know you could be a superbly rude prat with a bad attitude who will abuse any officer you meet, causing them to pay extra attention to your vehicle and disbelieve anything you tell them, so I'm going to cover my arse and not say 'will'."
