Hey guys,

How are we?

I got bad news, I wrote of my alloytec VZ on Thursday night, a truck cut me off Insurance wont pay up to what i had expected.

But my neighbour will sell me his VS Clubby for 6k and its cleans and stock with registration, but the thing is Im still on P's

Any ideas how i can drive it legally?

fixed, your spelling is terrible man.

Their's no way out of that one, you'll just have to wait till your on your opens.

Fixed it slightly better again, still needs work.

[too]

lol c'mon guys its not school time, so you think im no chance to drive it legally?

[too]

and im in vic

[Tom_1569]

When did you get your p's?

[too]

2 years ago mate, just under?

any ideas?

[HoldenOnn]

fixed, your spelling is terrible man.

There's no way out of that one, you'll just have to wait until you're on your opens.

Had to follow up and do your spelling. Couldn't resist

Also, its alloytec not alloy tec. And its wrote, not rote. You missed a few

Im not going to make a habit of fixing spelling or grammar though. This is Just Commodores and alot of people on here certainly didn't pass spelling or grammar in year 2.

In response to the original poster, I can't understand why the insurance company will not pay you out the insured amount. Unless you had the car under insured or unless you are not revealing all the details to us?

And there is no way around the 'P' plate laws. They are not likely to make an exception for you.

[too]

what about if i do this, drive around in it with a big for sale sighn so if a cop pulls me over ill say im selling it??

[Zeussy]

You'll still get fined,

I'm pretty sure (heard it from someone that heard it from someone else...) that in NSW you can get exemptions to drive a vehicle thats on the 'no no list'.
Something along the lines of:
If its the only registered vehicle in your posession/household that you are able to drive, or
If you need it for work ie. Work ute with a V8 in it... etc.


But, thats only hearsay, and I wouldn't bet my life on it, best bet would be to ring up your local RTA, or VicRoads, or whatever it is that you guys have down there.

lol... Not gonna work mate, as said very unlikely to get an exemption, unless for work purposes.

[too]

***k why would i need a clubby for work?

LOL, i should slap myself. Till yeah thats a bit slang, now your just nick picking haha
Yeah I only fixed a few, I could've been a bit more thorough. Those ones I corrected were jumping off the page at me, it was like he was sending a text message.

[HoldenOnn]

Your errors and his errors and everyones errors jump off the screen at me all the time. But I am very particular and I passed all my spelling and grammar classes

To the original poster. You cannot get around the law. And if the car is still able to be driven safely, why was it written off? Or is it unsafe to be driven?

[quick308]

That wont work, it still would not make a difference if it was your mates car, your driving a car that your not legally allowed to drive, end of story.

[Philthy]

Swap a V6 into the clubby and you can drive it perfectly legally

[Maxxiz]

No way dude, only way to do it is if you had bought the car prior to those rules coming in, which you didnt and there isnt a way you can make that happen.

[Junny]

Simple... MAKE THE INSURANCE PAY....
Lmao, insurance companies aint that bad are they?
I had problems with my licence... (courts fault) but got still got insured... licence hasnt been sorted out...

[bandidoben]

your obviously not giving the whole story/truth about the accident.
i work in insurance and have for years.
if you have an agreed value of the car they have to pay the full amount (if its a write off) end of story.
there is in know way any policy in the world that says in fine print "we reserve to pay you what we feel like because your a p plater and we hate you" which is what your OP was implying.

as for the stupid alligations and assumptions saying you can get away with driving a car that is to powerful. if you had got your P's a few years back when i did before the serious power to wieght restrictions came in you couldve got some higher preformance cars eg: xr6T and such but you havent had it that long as you stated.

the only way to get exemption to the rule is if your whole family only has one car that is shared and driven by all. a guy i use to live with he didnt have a car but he drove his dads porshce boxter every now and then because it was the ONLY registered car in his family to drive.
there is a way you can get an exxemption due to work related but as you stated the car you want is not needed for work.

[Ace_VP]

You are well aware of the law why not just wait until you can drive one legally like any other p-plater.

[TVR-190]

1. Accept what insurance offered you.
2. Buy a Ford
3. Go to Ford forums.
4. ?????????????
5. Profit (for us atleast)

If you are in Vic and with your driving history then I'd suggest you wait till you are off your "P"'s with much more driving experience.

*Many policies have very high age/inexperience excess surcharges plus if the car was insured for market value then the owner may be very surprised how little the car is worth, particularly if it has the typical "P" plater bling that they seem to attract.

get mum and daddy to get the car registered. go to the VICROADS or whatever and explain that its the family car and the only one you have access to. if you have been on P PLATES for two years, they should be green, or turned blue from the sun. check the power to weight ratio of the car, im pretty sure green platers can drive the BA XR6T due to power to weight.
