Yes, you can, if it doesn't have a warrant how are you meant to get one! Trailer it in, or get them to do house calls! Yea right.

28 days starts from day after inspection, it's on the reverse of check sheet. You are legally allowed to drive vehicle for purposes of getting vehicle up to WOF standard.

I agree.Know someone who totalled their car without a wof and insurance paid out as accident caused by driver error not mechanical condition.

It amazes me that people still believe that insurance companies don't have to pay out if you have an expired wof. Wake up! your insurance company is just trying to rip you off if they tell you this.

Will find out today you wake up you are commiting a criminal offense by driving your car without a wof unless you are going to get a wof or to get it fixed to get it up to wof standards

When i hand the customer the wof checksheet with the list of faults they say " "all good i got 28 days" i tell them legally they are now only allowed to drive the vehicle to and from a place of repair. And if they have insurance and have a accident the insurance company will probably not cover you. That shuts them up real fast. i have 1 customer whose car has not had a wof for 3 years never will again, he comes in every month just to get the wof checksheet so he can say if he gets pulled up onto it officer please dont ticket me. I crack up when he comes in every time.

Read above, only if the fault contributed to the accident. Sure they will try brush you off but its not a valid reason under the insurance reform act.

Doesn't matter, once a inspection determines its not up to standard the existing wof is void regardless of the date of when it expires. Sure the sticker may say its not but on the database.
Once it fails you can only drive for the purpose of getting repaired provided its safe to do so.

I had one similar so called my Cop mate who pulled him up outside my garage driveway as he was leaving.to hell with him, his car could be dangerous on the road and believe me if he had a crash and killed someone I am sure the cops would come knocking on my door.

splinter67 I dont know where you get your facts from insurance will still cover you with no wof or reg as long as its not a contributing factor to the accident. I have had a had a vehicle written off in a crash because someone ran a red light out in front of me. I had no wof and rego was on exemption (was driving it to my work a automotive workshop to get a cert check). The insurance never even asked why i was driving it on the road and paid out in full.

The feller isn't risining is he hmmmmmm . maybe he also needs it pointing out to him that you can have a current WOF but the vehicle isn't currently up to WOF standard (which is owner/driver responsibility) i.e. four bald tyres (or one even) or differing tyre types with legal tread on them on the same axle, and your insurer can decline the claim on that basis if they believe the bald tyres or incorrect tyre fitment were a 'potential' contributing factor in the incident.
As I have already stated in another thread, sometimes knowing a little about a lot can be a bad thing !

As odd as it sounds with me agreeing with john . He's CORRECT!
However, you 'may' get a ticket for no wof/reg etc & or 'may' loose your no claims bonus/pay the excess.

Yep, it's the opposite situation to the original. If the defect WAS a contributing factor in the incident. . you stand a good chance of getting a ticket for no wof/reg etc & or probably loose your no claims bonus/pay the excess.
