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.

AFAIA unless you're a trader the insurance certiifcate and registered keeper
must be in the same name, so assuming it has or will be registered in your
friends name, you wont be able to tax it using your certificate..

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.

Unless you can drive it to an off street parking place before the tax runs
out, I can only suggest you have the car picked up by a recovery Co, or
possibly by a trader with trade plates.
