What can i do in this situation...

My corsa was written off as category C after some idiot reversed into the drivers side door. Its perfectly drivable so i got it back from insurance.

Thing is, I need to get it VIC checked before I can get it retaxed.
VIC test has a 3 week waiting list, my tax runs out in one week.

Do you reckon I could get away with driving to and from work for two weeks with no tax??
I drive along country lanes where there are only one set of speed cameras.

What do you think?
What are the penalties?
What excuse can I give if I get stopped?
What other options do I have?
I dont want to hire a car, or have my car SORN...

Please reply as time is short...
Thanks,

at the risk of seeming to be 'Mr Sensible'...

if it isnt taxed, it isn't insured and you'd be irresponsible even considering driving the car without it being 'legal'.

No excuse is valid IMHO and I'm surprised someone would even ask the question on an open forum... frown
