pob Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 What's a blue slip? I'm thinking of buying a bike and places mention a blue slip, what is it? Is it a safety certificate like an MOT? Or is it rego? Rego is road tax right? Do I need separate insurance as well or will my rego give me basic minimal insurance to ride on the road?

calNgary Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 A blue slip is normally provided if the Rego has expired. http://www.gio.com.au/faq/what-blue-slip Rego is like road tax but with a compulsary 3rd party insurance built in with it. Yes you can legally ride on the road with just rego although it is recommended you get further insurance cover as rego only covers 3rd party's.

3FatCats Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Green slip is rego? Can you fill in rego onine if you have been issued a blue safety slip earlier that day? From memory, once reggo has expired you get a blue slip done, then hand in plates at RTA and get new reggo (and plates) there and then. If you call the RTA they will put you right.

pob Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Then my next question is .... The bike I am looking at is from Victoria, can I ride it around on Victorian rego or do I have to buy NSW rego for it to be valid here in Sydney?

calNgary Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 An interstate registered vehicle may be used temporarily in NSW. The required interstate number plates and labels must be displayed. If your vehicle is no longer temporarily in NSW, it should be registered in NSW. Some indications that the vehicle is no longer temporarily in NSW are if the registered operator: Can establish a garage address (where the vehicle is normally kept when not in use) for the vehicle in NSW. Is enrolled to vote on the NSW electoral roll. Is a NSW resident for tax purposes. Has been in NSW for more than 3 months. Has a NSW driver licence. http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/registration/getnewrego/interstatevehicles.html Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
