I have recently found out about a company that will insure you to drive a car for short periods of time. I won't post the company name or web site but surely this is a way for scumbags to get car tax without having longterm car insurance - saving them money. I can see the advantages of this for law abiding drivers but I'm sure this set up will be abused. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

You can do this with annual insurance anyway, surely? If you get your car insured, pay for a year's cover and then cancel it a week later, you'll get the remaining months on the policy refunded to you (I've done this a couple of times when changing from one car to another). |

I'll shut up now. Still a useful thing for legitimate users.| shmoogle Member Since: 07 Sep 2005 Location: ... and for every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you! Posts: 24350

Absolutely... a couple of my neighbours spend 6 months here and 6 months abroad, so would be useful for them for example. So you're not so stupid after all! |

And having used such a service to cover a vehicle for a short trip the faxed cover note has wording on it to the effect that it is not acceptable for the purposes of gaining Road Fund Licence for the vehicle. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit |

Thats interesting - i used these guys www.insuredaily.co.uk
However this is an Internet only company with no formal certificates sent out so perhaps thats where the difference is. 2016 RRS 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography Dynamic in Montalcino Red and Stealth Kit |
