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
the motor vehicle was conditionally registered; and
the injured person:
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
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.
