Seems odd?Following up for MstrQS2 first rear end.
Minor ding but Car deemed uneconomic to repair so NRMA writes it off
The car is still drivable and Mr QS was driving it when NRMA rings up with the news the car is written off
The problem is when the insurer writes it off, they notify the RMS who promptly cancels the Rego.
So MstrQS2 goes from driving a registered car down the motorway one second and in the nexrt second it's unregistered.
I then rang MstrQS2 to tell him the needs to urgently pull over. Now he is late for work.So now a frantic search for a suitable spot to pull over on the M2 motorway
I then complained to NRMA that they need to give us notice because someone could be driving the car when the rego gets cancelled.
This is not WCMO its WPMO![]()
According to the official NSW government website, you are to be notified in writing of a registration cancellation for a written-off vehicle and have 14 days to take the plates into a NSW service centre to complete the rego cancellation.

Cancel the registration on a written-off vehicle
Find out how to cancel the registration on a written-off vehicle.

Seems like there is at least 14 days warning, plus time for the written notification to reach you?
