Unregistered Vehicles
Driving an unregistered vehicle is a serious offence that
can have far-reaching and catastrophic consequences. It’s a
scary thought when you think about what could happen if your
vehicle is unregistered.
Making sure cars are roadworthy is a big part of the
registration system. It’s also about protecting people –
every vehicle must be registered to be covered by compulsory
third party insurance. This insurance makes sure that
everyone is covered for personal injury if someone is hurt
in a crash.
Here’s the rundown on what the different roadworthiness
inspections, and how to make sure you’re covered.
Pre-purchase Vehicle
Inspections
This is a fully comprehensive inspection report which
includes a complete check of the vehicle. The inspection
involves a thorough jacked up examination of all mechanical
components and also the bodywork, paintwork and under
structure, for evidence of any damage or unsatisfactory
repair work.
The interior and electrical components are checked and the
vehicle’s electronic control unit checked for any fault
codes followed by a road test. If you are buying a second
hand car and don't want to be stuck with a lemon then why
not give us a call today!
Blue Slip
A safety inspection report for unregistered vehicles. This
proves your vehicle is roadworthy, but it also makes sure
the car meets design and identity standards. We, at Seb's
Mechanical are an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle
Inspection Station (AUVIS) where you can get a blue slip
inspection.
Pink Slip Inspection
This is a safety inspection report that proves your car is
roadworthy. All vehicles more than three years old require a
safety inspection as a condition of registration renewal.
Your registration renewal notice will advise you if your
vehicle needs an inspection. To get the pink slip, you need
to take your vehicle to an Authorised Inspection Station
(AIS).
e-Safety Check
This is a pink slip that has been sent to the RTA
electronically. This allows you to renew your rego online or
by phone. You must visit an e-Safety Check Inspection
Station to get your e-Safety Check.
White Slip
An inspection report rejection slip. It details the repairs
required before a vehicle can be registered. Once the
repairs are carried out and you have the vehicle
re-inspected, the vehicle will receive a pink or blue slip.
Driving an unregistered vehicle attracts on-the-spot fines
($1007 for driving uninsured and unregistered) and four
demerit points. If the matter goes to court, the court can
impose fines of up to $2200 for driving unregistered and
$5500 for driving uninsured
