Taxing my car- anyone know if i can......
... use a temporary insurance thing to get car tax. You see my rs turbo might be ready to come out again soon, its been off road for couple years and is currently sorn. I wana be able to drive it on the road a bit and make sure everything will be going ok, but i dont wana take out a insurance policy just yet. Its only on storage insurance at mo.
Anyone got any ideas as to how i could get tax for it? I bought my old grey one with about 6 months tax so i just day insured it as and when i wanted to use it and this would be perfect for me now as i wont hardly use it much this year whilst im finishing it. Dont see the point in payin £800 to just use a car once every 2 weeks or even less, yet it needs tax to be legal on the road
stressful

3. Can I use Norwich Union's Short Term Insurance policy to obtain a UK road fund licence?
No. Whilst short term insurance certificates provide evidence of insurance in the format prescribed by the Road Traffic Act legislation, DVLA or UK Post Offices will not accept these certificates for road fund licence purposes.

you need insurance to have the car on the road, even if it's parked, so they wont give you a tax disc unless you can prove the car is insured.

insure it with a company that give you a cooling off period. (normally 14 days or so)
get it taxed, and then cancel the insurance. its not gonna cost you much and gives you a while to have a good drive of it too.
clearly the traders insurance will be easier, but if you have no joy with that it could be an idea.
how much is it costing you to day insure it when u want to out of interest?

I agree with above, best bet is to get someone with a trader policy to tax it for you, then you will be ok, am a bit confused about short term insurance though as as long as insured day you tax it should be legal, as I have taxed a car with only a couple of days mot on it and they never complained, they should be out chasing those that don't tax the cars not people like you.
