The permit is designed essentially to allow you to move an unregistered car around to make repairs and get a RWC/Rego. (or for a new owner to move the vehicle from the sellers premises to their own).
I have used many permits in my time and have not had a single issue from it.
We drove a VT from Tullamarine to Warrnambool (300km) and didnt get stopped once, even though we were still on the road after 7pm.

I have been stopped before in other cars that i was driving on the permit so i could get repairs.
A simple license check, and a look at the permit and i was on my way.

You may get pulled over but as long as you obey the conditions on the permit, you will be fine.

Incorrect, in Victoria a vehicle can still be defected if it has an unregistered vehicle permit. It does not allow for an unsafe vehicle to be driven. It still has to comply with basic rules in regard to vehicle safety. You could not drive around a vehicle with 4 bald tyres, lights that don't work etc. With a permit though there would be more understanding.
