Hi Everyone,

Use of Vehicles under Conditional Registration For Essential Purpose

It has come to our attention that the NSW Police have pulled over a number of vehicles on conditional registration (H, D or J plates) and questioned whether their use is for essential purposes.

The Council of Motor Clubs (CMC) has sought clarification from the Policy Branch of Transport for NSW (RMS) and has received the following advice.

As long as club members follow NSW State restrictions, such as only going direct to the mechanic, the shops, medical practitioners, pharmacies or to work they are allowed to use HVS and CVS vehicles with the filled out log book.

That does not include trips to try the car out or charge the battery etc. As far as CMC interpret it. Those reasons could be considered spurious by any authority who pull a vehicle up and question its use.

There obviously can be no club events where people gather. CMC suggest that no club sanction or organise any such activity as fines are substantial.

Note that two unrelated people in the front seat of a vehicle are breaking the distancing rules. If they are not family or live with you then they are unrelated.

If you have not opted for the log book scheme then you cannot use the vehicle as there are no club events and going for a maintenance run is not considered an essential use.

If you are taking such a vehicle to a mechanic it is suggested it be for essential work and you have a prior appointment with the mechanic.

Go it alone is the safe way if you must go out in ANY vehicle.

It is suggested that members who do NEED to use a vehicle under conditional registration have a copy of this advice with them.

Is that one of those number plate obscuring filters, or have you edited the photo?

No such thing. It's just a little grey editing deleting the reg. nr. in win paint. If people use the filters you mention, they are in for a fine. The little italian stripe I have on the plate seems to offend noone ;)  Couldn't stop to take photo of the scenery along the coast, as I was driving and road sides are full of cars opening doors, people taking a bath in the really cold water etc. I stay home a lot these days, only going to work and back, and then this trip. It's allowed. Nice trip and to hear the bike again after a long Winter is always good. In all fairness, it's quite loud when on song, so I tend to keep it down through cities and in my own neighbourhood. Fortunately never got a negative remark from anyone. I need to make a few bits though, as I use new masters and they need a propper fixation of the reservoirs. The bracketry that accompanied them are way too tall, sticking up in the air, obstructing turning, so I thought of fixing them to the clip on bars' plastic end thingy. I think the old db1 was smart. Maybe I'll come up with something, as it needs to be done anyway, together with moving the choke handle.

Kind regards,
jacques

Gsxr radical master cylinder on the lavuzzi was the same problem, made a bracket for the reservoir from a 10mm spanner.

Hmmm, a radical solution for a radical problem?

Yes, they're illegal in Australia too. Probably the same in most countries. That's why I was curious. I thought maybe you could get away with it in Denmark.

PS: Say hello to Princess Mary for me next time you're invited to the palace for a cup of tea. She's from my home city.  :D
