Majak Daw Driving Charges

It could be as simple as he moved and didn't get notice of a suspension due to points accumulated and also didn't get rego renewal.

I note he also was coming off a very heavy mental health episode, so not totally unexplainable, possibly.

Still all that being said, drivers need to be licenced and cars registered before driving.

Possibly looking at a fine and further period of suspension.

Or he could have originally lost his licence for deliberately running over a Labrador puppy.

    I think we're making excuses because it's Majak. He's responsible for knowing whether his car is registered or his license suspended

    This seems like a silly thing to do - but not front page of the herald sun worthy. Shouldn’t have done it, but not like he was speeding / drunk etc. just driving 

    Disagree entirely. It's entirely worthy of the Herald Sun's front or back pages given the Herald Sun's quality is barely up to wiping your backside standard. Remember they were the paper that posted the pre-season story about Goody only 12 months after it supposedly happened. Only 6 months late in this case so they're progressing

    I’d believe that. I had an at-fault car accident without insurance in my early 20s, however your counterpart at the time didn’t have too much trouble finding me, they just had to get the police report (my car was totalled so no getting away with it). 

    Reason for not having insurance: couldn’t afford it. Now you can argue if you can’t afford insurance, you can’t afford having a car, but reality is I needed to work and study, and I lived a considerable distance from both places from the places I needed to be (because poor) with limited public transport. People with less means unfortunately often feel they have to take more risk to get by. And like Mr Daw I got the privilege of a couple of police charges too just to rub salt in to the wound.

    Anyway I was “only” up for about 3k for the other party, plus obviously the loss of my own car. Had to take out a personal loan to cover it all, I made sure I borrowed enough to grab a year or two worth of insurance too. Haven’t ever gone without it since, although I’m in a significantly better place financially now so it’s a (privileged) no-brainer.

    In any case, it’s the personal indemnity insurance you get from your registration that is the issue. It’s why “unregistered” charges always come with an “uninsured” charged. As far as I’m aware NSW is the only state that enforces compulsory third party insurance, but I could have that wrong.

    In Victoria it's similar to Tasmania - your annual registration fee includes a payment to the TAC. Once you are registered, you are covered by the TAC for any liability you have as owner/driver of the vehicle for injuries to other people (with certain other exceptions).

    So, as has been pointed out, if you drive an unregistered vehicle, you are not entitled to be covered by the TAC if you injure/kill someone.

    I don't think he's going to have to get to Casey beyond September so the last few months of the ban shouldn't hurt too much

    Whilst not in any way excusing Majak for this indiscretion, I think we should congratulate him for at least having the mental strength in putting it aside in yesterday's VFL game and playing what sounds by all reports to be a very solid performance, against his ex teammates.

    Lol. The prospect of maybe receiving a $500 fine would be weighing pretty heavy.

    I reckon Majak was outstanding yesterday. It was one of the most dominant ruck displays I've seen at any level!

    It is much easier to inadvertently drive an unregistered car now that there are no rego stickers.

    Property insurance has never been required.

    I believe those injured involving an unregistered car are still covered.

    It is also common to be unaware of a licence suspension, unless it happened in court.

    I think we can cut Majak a bit of slack.

    Hands up all of us that have breached a traffic rule in the past...caught or otherwise.

    Majak had his case heard today and was fined as a result of his indiscretion.

    Surely it should have been a fine suspended until the end of the season. Didn’t the courts get the memo?

    Thanks.

    But just to clarify, I believe this is not the reason for his unavailability at this stage.  
    Can anyone confirm he has a moderate physical injury to his pectoral muscles ?

    Not sure about 'moderate'.  Goodwin said yesterday the injury happened a few weeks ago and he won't be available for another month.

    Well whether or not it has anything to do with him not being in line for selection at least he can now focus on his footy without this business hanging around in the background.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
