Oz registration = tax disc
I apologize for digressing from Trevor's question.
The registration, tax discs, MOTs, mandatory insurance and what nots are a mangled maze between countries.
In Australia vehicle registration is a state (eg. NSW, Victoria ) based tax and is valid for a year only, so requires annual renewal, otherwise it is considered to be unregistered. It roughly equates to the UK registration plus tax disc plus third party insurance in most Oz states. Regulations vary between states, eg. NSW require an annual vehicle inspection, similar to the UK MOT, while Victoria only require an inspection on transfer of ownership or when re-registering an unregistered vehicle.
To get an Australian carnet, the vehicle has to have current registration, I don't know the requirements for a UK carnet. Actually I'm stuck with an unregistered Australian bike in the UK, and I cannot get it re-registered in order to get another Oz carnet to ride it back home via SE Asia. Therefore I'm thinking of riding it home via the USA.
Regards,
Mark
