you need for there to be an insurance policy on the vehicle your wanting to drive 3rd party, otherwise you will not be insured as far as im aware, you got two choices a low loader or risk going to the test station uninsured!

if you have booked it in for a mot and can prove you are driving there for the apointment i believe you dont need tax or insurance

As above, you can take it to and from an MOT test centre for either a pre-arranged MOT and/or pre-arranged MOT work to be carried out on the vehicle without the need for MOT, tax or insurance.

 

Not sure what would happen though if you had a prang on your way there.

if the ar you are driving is not taxed or mot'd you are void of insurance in teh event of a crash. If you have a crash and you are not insured you will be arrested and charged.

 

I just checked with teh wife, shes an insurance broker.

as far as im aware your fully comp ins from the zed covers you 3rd party to drive other cars as long as you are NOT the registered owner of the car all of the above are great in theory but its not till something happens that you find out exactly what your insured for

it's just tax you don't need as if you were to have a accident they wouldn't let you off paying your fees or what ever

It is an offence to drive a vehcile on a public highway without insurance end of.

 

You can drive to a prebooked mot without a vaild mot or tax.

 

If you are comp on the zed AND over 25 you should be about to drive other cars NOT belonging to you but they MUST be insured by the owner.

 

Getting caught with no insurance might not get you arrested but it WILL get you 6 points and up to a grand fine.

 

You might be able to add the primera to your Z policy as a second car, or get a short term policy.
