Hey Guys,

This seems to be a topic that comes up quite often and everyone seems to have heard something different as to the rules of club rego.
So...... This info is from Queensland Transport (I have also included the link to the entire flyer)
http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resourc ... _guide.pdf

The Types of vehicles eligible
Vehicles with both right-hand drive (RHD) and left-hand drive (LHD) that fall within one of the
following categories may be registered under the scheme:-
1 Historic vehicles (including tractors) at least 30 years old
2. Historic ambulances and Fire-fighting equipment
3. Street rods

Registering your special interest vehicle
You will need
Club membership: Evidence of current membership with an incorporated car club or
association must be provided at the time of application for the concession. Vehicles other
than historic ambulances and fire-fighting equipment must be registered in the name of the
car club member/s
Dating certificate: A dating officer (or club official) of an incorporated car club or
association must inspect the vehicle to certify the year of manufacture and authenticate that
the vehicle is in its original condition. This certificate, which must be on club letterhead or
other official club documentation, must identify the vehicle and the year of manufacture.

Restricted vehicle use
Vehicles registered under the scheme have certain limitations placed on their use. This is reflected in
the reduced fees and compulsory third party insurance premium. Registered operators must confine
their vehicle’s use to:-
• participating in rallies organised by incorporated car clubs
• participating in processions for which a Special Events Permit has been issued
• exhibiting the vehicle in displays, fetes or similar functions conducted for religious, charitable
or educational purposes
• ceremonial purposes (weddings, formals) involving immediate family members provided this is
not done for fee or reward. Immediate family means parents, grandparents, sons, daughters,
grandchildren but not extended family relationships such as nephews and nieces
• preparing for, proceeding to, and returning from the above activities
• travel in order to have the vehicle repaired. There is no distance restriction in these circumstances.
However, such travel must be reasonable and openly justified by the vehicle operator.
• Road testing within a 15 kilometre radius from the place where the vehicle is garaged. The
purpose of the travel must be to road test the vehicle following repair or restoration and not for
any other purpose. This does not include use as a means of transport.

Changed to sticky.

Good post

Are you required to have membership/ dating documents on you, say if you get pulled over.
Or for that matter proof of the event you may be travelling to?

I called the department of transport today to find out if there is anything you must carry in the car - and was told that you need to have proof of membership to the club (eg membership card) and a letter stating the event (eg Calendar). Most cops are pretty good when it comes to club rego, and if you are on a cruise, chances are there is going to be quite a few of us around anyway.

So.....keep your QPDC membership card handy (everyone should have one or will get one when they join), and keep a copy of the calendar in the car.

If you are pulled over and fined on your way to a workshop to have work done on the car, the guy I spoke to said to keep receipts of the work (making sure they have a date) and go back to the police station and have the fine reversed.
