Pink slip inspection?
Tim
nearest RTA inspection centre (Or qualified Mechanic) to have your car
inspected for Pink Slip. Friends have said you must take it to the
closest place for inspection, but my mechanic is further away (10k
past the closest). I live in NSW.
Thanks

If the car is still currently registered, then you can drive it to
anyone, anywhere to get the pink slip. If its just out of registration
( within 3 months of the rego expiring) then you take it to the nearest
one ( or so they say)

I wouldnt worry about it myself, just carry on as if the rego hasnt expired.
I've done that in the past without any quibble from them, they just process
it just like they do when you do it before the rego has expired.
