I was informed, that the Highway Patrol in Vic, will be on the look out for cars driving with "Club plates".
Yes, you can still drive a car with club plates during this time, if you have one of the valid reasons for leaving home, and within the prescribed limitations of Club rego rules.
But you better make sure your logbook is filled out.
Out cruising 100Km from home, and stating you are going to the shops to buy food, just won't cut the mustard.
