MOTOR TRAFFIC ACT 1936 (REPEALED) - SECT 89

Use of motor vehicle where appropriate insurance premium not paid

(1)     Any person who uses or causes, permits or suffers any other person to use upon a public street any insured motor vehicle shall, if the appropriate amount of insurance premium payable has not been paid, be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding 5 penalty units.

(2)     The authorised insurer may recover as a debt from any such person, the difference between the amount of premium (if any) actually paid in relation to the motor vehicle so used and the appropriate amount of premium.

(3)     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, failure by any person to lodge or pay in full the appropriate amount of insurance premium in respect of the insurance of a motor vehicle (whether his or her failure is due to error or omission, or to any change of circumstances or other matter affecting the amount payable as the appropriate amount of insurance premium) shall not affect the validity of any third-party policy issued or deemed to have been issued, or any registration of the motor vehicle.
