What's the advantage?
I see.
NO your missing the point. The CTP should be part of your license. It transfers with you "the person" into any car or bike.
It shouldn't be locked to any one vehicle only the person driving it.

Then you have people paying for insurance on machines they don't own, such as truck drivers and taxi drivers etc.
It won't save any money anyway. Everyone just pays the insurance on their license instead of their rego.
Not to mention the rates vary according to the type of vehicle etc.
Plus... The only person not covered by CTP is the driver. It covers everyone else. Hence the name Compulsory Third Party insurance.

The cost drops dramatically as it would be based on the type of license held. If you own a stable of cars you don't pay individual CTP premiums on each. You only pay to match your license (once).
You can drive any "registered" car your license entitles you to drive (yours or anybodies else's) and the CTP of your license covers it.
One license, one arse, one CTP premium. You can only ever drive any one car at a single time and while your at the wheel the CTP is covered.
Yeah, it annoys the hell out of me to pay rego on cars I seldom drive. I always said "you can only drive one car at a time, so that's all the rego you should have to pay".
It's interesting to see how club permits vary between states. The Vic hot rod rego seems like a good thing.
Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
