when can i drive?
At least twice a week we are asked if a client can drive the vehicle with no registration to our shop for an inspection, but did you know all the rules that apply to getting a vehicle registered?
We found the RMS website link that allows you to drive your vehicle.
# When you can drive unregistered
You can drive an unregistered vehicle in NSW for the purpose of obtaining registration.
You must drive the most direct or convenient route:
- To the nearest convenient registry or service centre
- To the nearest convenient Authorised Inspection Station to determine whether the vehicle complies with the applicable vehicle standards
- In the course of inspecting or testing the vehicle to determine if it complies with the applicable vehicle standards
- To the nearest practicable weighbridge to determine the weight of the vehicle
- From a registry or service centre, or authorised inspection station, where registration of the vehicle has been refused, to the nearest convenient place where necessary repairs can be made, or where the vehicle can be garaged, unless a direction has been issued that the vehicle must not be driven until repairs have been made
- From an Authorised Inspection Station to the nearest convenient place where necessary repairs or adjustments can be made, or where the vehicle can be garaged
- To the nearest convenient office of a licensed insurer for the purpose of obtaining CTP insurance
- To the nearest convenient location for any other purpose directly associated with the registration process.
