while it may make things easier to have a prewritten note stating you are driving from a to b to get blah for rego it isn't a requirement and never has been. Main thing is to drive by the most direct route and if pulled over be able to clearly state where you have been and where you are going and for what reason.

safest to call lube mobile or similar and have it done in your driveway.

If you knew anything about NSW rego inspections you would know that Lube mobile cannot do a pink slip. Actually no pinkslip can be done by a mobile service.

What about if I buy a car from the ACT that has rego till August, but I live in NSW. Is it illegal for me to drive it around? I only drive it to get repairs anyway, but im still interested in knowing.
