Online you can add any policy or non existent one....

Yes but you are declaring that it is insured, plus if you use it on the road, it must be insured.

I understand that, but in the eyes of the law you must present an insurance certificate (or number if taxing online) to tax a vehicle. Because the tax office couldn't be bothered to check the online number system actually works isn't the fault of the law makers (enforcement)

I had this argument out with a guard one day... They can indeed recall what you write into the insurance box when you tax a car online. It's when it's 'not yours' that most people put in some gobbledegook and herein lies where I had the argument with the guard :pac:

Dead as a dodo, wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. Very economical like most small engined Japanese cars. Money is far to strong.

Get the 1.8, you’ll get a years tax with the money you’ll save.

Cheap and cheerful Suzuki might get some one out of trouble i nearly consider it a free car if it runs any way half ok.
Fresh nct and tax to boot
Not the most exciting car looks clean on the outside and a quick valet would do wonders

Yep, and unless it gave most of its life garaged it could be some mess under the back of it.

Similar to the Sportka/Streetka? Can’t see the serious rust until you remove plastic wheel arch liners?

Genuine question... If I am road testing a car with no insurance disk but I have 'driving other cars' on a policy that doesn't require the other car to be insured by its owner...

The car is insured on my insurance policy. The car doesn't need its own insurance, nor is that even a thing

Your insurance will cover you, but 3rd party only.

You're comparing apples to oranges! Try to remove one wheel on each side of the car and try the same with the skates ;-)

The car needs a valid insurance disk in the window. If your one is valid, put it in the window. What it covers depends on the insurance policy you have.

selectamatic · 27-10-2020 02:39PM

You can't put your own disc in the window of another car.

But ya your policy will cover you. You always run the risk of being done for non display but realistically no guard is going to do ya for that while on a test drive.

I always thought that the car you are testing had to have a policy of some sort for any other (mine) policy to cover...

That depends on your own policies wording, the important part to take from selectamatics post is not to display discs that don't belong (from another car etc.) that just looks shady as hell and will get you in a lot more trouble than just explaining the situation.

Very much depends on your own policy as Cheensbo said.

Off the top of my head Aviva and Liberty definitely require the car to have an existing policy before you can drive it under your own driving of other cars extension.

Any policy underwritten by RSA does not require this. I think AXA too but I'm open to correction on that and there could also be a few others who do not have this requirement.

Unless you have an accident.

TheW1zard · 27-10-2020 04:37PM

My policy states I can drive any other car, it just needs to be taxed.
You can tax a car using any old policy number.

So can I buy another car, and so long as it has nct and tax I am insured to drive it?

I cant see anywhere it doesnt say that!?

I would imagine if you look at your policy document /booklet it will state any car that is not owned by you. Standard part of any driving other cars cover I've ever had.
