Hi I am in the middle of a lawsuit with a major dealership and have not driven the car since we filed with the courts which was a little over a month ago. Can we drive the car? We are filed with the courts? Our lawyer is in the process of waiting for info from the courts. We are in a bind and need the extra car. Its the holidays and lawyer is unavailable at the time.

That's a question you'll have to ask your lawyer because your lawyer has all the details of the case and you have given us NONE.

Besides, any question that begins with the word "can" almost invariably has to be answered yes because "can" addresses the ability to do something and not whether you do it rightly or wrongly.

Think about your question.

You don't need a lawyer, a wizard, or a professor to answer the question for you.

You're smart.

Use your common sense.

If you STOPPED driving the car, INITIATED a lawsuit because SOMETHING'S wrong with the car, WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU POTENTIALLY DESTROY YOUR LAWSUIT, OR RISK YOUR LIVES DRIVING A BUCKET OF DANGEROUS BOLTS????

It seems like you are suing for breach of contract per title of your thread but I wouldn't chance driving the car with a court case pending - definitely not until you can discuss with your lawyer.

Not enough information here to begin to address the question. You stopped driving it for a reason.
