      Where do I stand. Cars 70miles away and if i buy i need to get it home, is there a leverage in me getting it home? He cant tax it because he's not insured.
      Thanks

      surely you'l insure it to drive home? just take the insurance certificate they email you to the nearest post office and buy tax

      No there is no point even trying it. If you get caught then its points on licence fine etc. The only way you can drive without tax is if you have your car booked into the nearest mot station and the police will probably want proof aswell so they might phone them up.Couldnt you tax the car yourself or get a mate with a transporter etc to collect it?

      There is no leniance for no tax mate, insure it, tax it, pick it up, get it collected by someone with a recovery truck OR run the gauntlet..

      There are NO points for driving without tax, just a fine....

      Or try and borrow some trade plates from someone.

      if you have another car you could hire a trailer for probably around £40 , and toe it back home...
