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.
=========================================

I recently taxed my Sorned car at my local Post Office which has a direct
electronic link to DVLA. It appears that if you have the MOT certificate
there is a link via DVLA to an insurance database, so provided that the
insurance policy is in force the certificate isn't required at the Post
Office.

I'm not sure about this, but it's worth asking at your local Post Office.
It's possible that I'm mistaken but I'm pretty sure that the clerk only
asked for the MOT certificate.
