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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
