The big day came - all I needed was CTP and a registration application
(downloadable) filled out and dated. Don't need a 'permit to move' for a
direct trip to get roadworthy/rego - only need a 'permit to move' if moving
to somewhere else, for instance to get mechanical repairs or from point of
purchase back to your house.

Was targeted by 2 prowling police cars on a 10min trip (bundamba to darra on
ipswich motorway QLD)
one unmarked black mtisi 380 and a labelled sv8. Both looked relieved when
I waved the paperwork at them, both wanted to see the address of the
inspection centre I was headed for and the CTP certificate.

All I can say, is the vehicle you were registering MUST have looked
"dodgy" to get that (Police) attention.

Not having plates is usually enough to get attention Ron, the lack of
plates is very noticeable so the cops don't even have to try to spot it.
If it was in Melb I'd say getting Police attention for anything is
difficult because seeing cops on the roads is rare.

Absolute factory - down to the hub caps '93 323 astina. It was just the
missing plates. Ironically, had I left the old plates on (not legal) I'd
have not been pulled over.
