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.

Innaresting. I think with the sys in Victoria that anyone could use their historically registered vehicle for whatever purpose as long as the log book has been filled in. I could be wrong.
 
Marty nothing has appeared online re Classic rego and riding during the lockdown, but I did read reports on the Ducati Facebook site and from someone who works at Gray Gums writing that there were 3 cop cars on Sunday at the Colo River Bridge warning riders and insisting they turn around or cop a fine. So you should just go play a round of golf, pairs only, or swim a lap of the 3 beaches just opened and leave immediately once out of the water. You can still ride to work on Classic Rego with a logbook entry, I passed your bike shop and saw your 3C parked. Good on you for getting in some ks while abiding by the in some cases inconsistent regs. I expect this will be moderated at some point. Its easily done, riding and keeping the 2ms distance. Even if you line up to buy a pie at 2ms and sit on your bike 2ms apart to eat it. I don't see how it can be sustained indefinitely just on mental health grounds. What a world Ha
