9F Exclusion: conditionally registered motor vehicle – accident
with registered or conditionally registered motor vehicle
(1) A person is not entitled to benefits to which this section applies for
an injury or death suffered in, or as a result of, a motor accident if:
(a) the accident occurred while the injured person was in a motor
vehicle; and
(b) the motor vehicle was conditionally registered; and
(c) the injured person:
(i) was the owner of the conditionally registered motor
vehicle; or
(ii) was the driver of the conditionally registered motor
vehicle and knew, or ought to have known, that the
vehicle was conditionally registered; and
(d) the vehicle was driven in breach of the conditions or
restrictions on which the vehicle was registered; and
(e) the accident involved another motor vehicle that was either:
(i) a registered motor vehicle that, at the time of the
accident, was being driven; or
(ii) a conditionally registered motor vehicle that, at the time
of the accident, was being driven in compliance with the
conditions or restrictions on which the vehicle was
registered.
(2) However, subsection (1) does not apply if, in the opinion of the
Commission, the circumstances in which the vehicle was being
driven amounted to an emergency.
(3) The benefits to which this section applies are all benefits payable
under this Act other than those payable under sections 18, 18BC,
18BD and 19.
