Any of you hardcore MB fellas ever Looked into conditional registration for these recreation vehicles/MB's in Qld?
I really think it would be worth looking into.
specifically conditional unrestricted access of the road network for 2 wheel recreation vehicles.

The Conditional Registration Scheme commenced on 1 May 2003. The scheme provides a
mechanism to register non-standard vehicles that were previously either exempt from or not accepted
for registration.
Vehicles included under this scheme are required to meet a set standard of construction and are
registered within strict guidelines to ensure safe operation of the vehicle whilst on a road.
Under the Conditional Registration Scheme, non-standard vehicles are allocated condition codes that
ensure vehicles can move safely when used on the road.
Operation of vehicles registered under the Conditional Registration Scheme must comply with the
Guideline for Conditionally Registered Vehicles in Queensland Form Number 17. Only vehicles with a
genuine need to access the road network will be included in this scheme.
The Conditional Registration Scheme offers non-standard vehicles the added benefit of access to
Compulsory Third Party Insurance. Compulsory Third Party Insurance will cover you for personal
injury insurance claims made against you by other road users such as drivers, passengers,
pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists if a crash occurs on a road (subject to the scope of the Motor
Accident Insurance Act 1994).
Compulsory Third Party Insurance will not cover you for property damage. Make sure that you have
appropriate insurance to cover you for the range of risks associated with your vehicle both on and off
road. For more information on public liability and general insurance consult your insurance
broker/advisor.
All vehicles require registration to drive on the roads. The definition of a road under Queensland law is
broader than most people realise. Under Queensland law a road includes areas such as: shopping
centre car parks, railway crossings, areas open to the public for use as a road and road related areas.
A road related area includes areas such as footpaths, and nature strips.
If a non-standard vehicle is to access the road, it must be registered and covered for Compulsory
Third Party Insurance. It is illegal to drive an unregistered and uninsured vehicle of any type on
Queensland roads.
If you hire a non-standard vehicle and it is not registered, you will need to discuss this with the hire
company if you intend using it on the road.

That's my old stompin' grounds. I find it pays to mingle with traffic, so the wallopers have too much to look at.
