    Yes. You're required to have a valid insurance disc on the day of the test. I've heard of cases where they're nice about it and accept written proof of insurance but technically they're not supposed to. Without either you definitely won't be allowed to sit the test.

    A typical example of written proof would be the letter of temporary cover often sent to a new policy holder before they formally sign to receive the cert and disc. Obviously this won't apply in your case.

    Once you insured your insured the disc doesn show who is insured on the vehicle so if they are basing that as proof of insurance there would be a lot of people blowing smoke up your ass.

    Once ye sign that piece of paper saying your insured thats good enough for them. In most cases Companies are quick enough with the certs and discs if ye still feel ye need it and it hasn't arrived call into a branch and get it printed off

    The law states that a vehicle on a public road must display an insurance disc. That the vehicle is insured is irrelevant - it must display the disc to be road legal.

    Driving test are conducted on public roads, therefore.......
