Righto I bought a car for a friend who has a provisional license. I have
insurance for my car, and to driver other cars with owners permission.

The car tax runs out tommorow, can I tax the car with my insurance
document. It has a new MOT. The old owner did not have the reknewal
letter (lost it) and my friends insurance was done this morning online
and will take up a maximum of 14 days to arrive.

As it runs out tommorow and is parked on apublic street I'm in a bit of
a bind.

Advice welcomed.

Extremely unlikely, although the exact interpretation of the law seems to
depend on the mood of the issuing clerk!

If you think about it, all the time you are driving your car, your
friend's car probably wouldn't be covered.

Although 14 days is quoted for the cover note to arrive, it's likely to
be sooner than that. In the meantime, strictly speaking, your friend must
arrange for off-road storage.
