take out a policy, tax it right away and cancel the insurance again before you pay it lol
but i've heard they dont care bout insurance. dunno if its true tho

 

You can tax it online with any old number!

 

money is all they are bothered about. any sequence of numbers on the line for insurance. once they grab that looveley lolly from the hatch drawer, a tax disc will be printed a.s.a.p.

 

all your doing on a tax for is making a decleration that you have the car insured, they dont check it and dont really care, its all just about red tape procedures. ive often mixed up my policy numbers between the two cars on the forms by accident and left it to it. question is, why do you want to tax it without insurance? id be running the other way round.

 

thanks all, got it taxed today don't think they even looked at the policy number!! , as yous said long as they get the money they dont care,, Set for dubshed now

Is it because you have some sort of garage insurance? Im not lecturing, you just have me curious!

 

@ JoeG60

Are you saying you are driving without insurance?

 

He may have a good reason but it sounds dodgy

 

doubt its anything dodge, my policy allows me to drive any car as long as it is not in my name and the car is nct'd and tax'd, prob something along them lines for this lad. They don't check policy numbers anyway, and that's for sure because i taxed my Capri with my mk2 policy by accident before and nothing was said.

 

haha ah id say it probably dose sound dodgy, but dont worry I have insurance guys, was covered by third party extension but got a policy on it to be safe!

Exactly as you said mk2oldschool, thanks for a wee bit of backup haha

 

no botter, i remember all too well any time i went for a run in the capri the woman shoutin 'ya've no insurance on that thing' and me shouting back 'I DO HAVE F****N INSURANCE YA STUPID WOMAN, I'M NOT EXPLAIN THIS AGAIN'

was going to say to get insurance anyway to cover you but i see you've done that...

aw i get that all the time too i do haha, but your better having a policy one the car even if it's not your own policy i think! They love me at a checkpoint when i roll up in the corrado

 

try a capri with a high lift cam running on bike carbs with a stright thru exhaust, absolute conversation starter ha. I just used to have the paper work with me the whole time and nothing was ever said then. I know a lad that had the same set up with his insurance and the car got stolen and burnt out, not a leg to stand on and had to just take it on the chin. For the few hundred it might cost to insure the ranny or someone on it, I think its worth it.

 

Quinn-Direct allows a policy holder with full EU licence to drive any car as long as the other car in not on your own name and is NCTed and Taxed this is purley for the purpose when your car is getting fixed etc. So I cant see anything dodgy about a guy trying to tax car.

This is not exactly the case. Yes they do insure you on other cars but only if both cars are in roadworthy condition.

So therefore if your car is in garage it is seen as non road worthy and hence you have no insurance on any car.

I spent twenty minutes on phone going through this one day with a lady in quinn direct.

I rang the next day and had very same converstaion with a male in quinn direct and both insisted that what i said above is the case.

Once there's something written in the section for it, they don't check in most tax offices either so it's not just online.
