A car when its not insured? or on the MIDB?

In theory, as you can do it off trade insurance?

Check your pms ill explain how to do it.

[General Baxter]

you need insurance to tax it, simple

it needs to be on the MIDB to do it online, but a cover note at the post office

[burgo]

no you dont, i tax'd an uninsured car

[General Baxter]

how ?

[burgo]

simple, i had an old cover note that said it was insured lmao. post offices dont check the MID so as long as you have a cover note that says it is covered you can tax the car

they do if you use one of them tax forms thru the post, they scan the bar code, thats what you wait about for, a few seconds for the system to check

this happened on a nova before, they said its not insured i told them to check the date on the cover note, which was dated 5 days before, thus not being on the database

edit that was 6 months ago

dont use a reminder then tit head lol. just take the log book, mot certificate and cover note up, simples

[dave watson]

you need to insure and mot it before you tax it you also need the v5

[General Baxter]

why tax it when not insured ?

[Jack]

Officially, no. As its a requirement to have insurance. If you're not on the MID, the post office SHOULD tell you to contact your insurance company and put you on.

In reality, yes. As said you could just argue the toss with a cover note although even certificates now are shady as so many people used to wait til they arrived then ring up and cancel the insurance, keeping the certificate/cover note. Hence the MID.

As above though, why would you want tax without insurance? You can't drive on the road without either, and surely the insurance is the more useful of the two..

[burgo]

because the dvla are robbing cunts and even though i dont drive my car i have to have it taxed or get fined.

[General Baxter]

sorn ? thats free lol

[Jack]

can't SORN if its stored on the roadside though.

[edit] I'd still want even basic cover if it was parked on a public road, as its still liable to get damaged

Why?

As it has to have the 3 to be even sat on public land/road?

i know that but the police dont go and check every car has insurance as they are walking around, they do however look for tax in the window. trust me if i had somewhere to store it it would be sorn'd and having to pay road tax even though i dont facking drive it takes the piss

[General Baxter]

yep needs to be insured to go on the road aswell,

all you need is an anpr car to go past, bye bye car lol

[Stuart]
