Hi,
I want to buy a car from a private seller. I need to insure and tax it before drive it home. I know that I can do both online but my question is that can I drive immediately after pay for the tax and insurance online? I read before that it may take for the MID and DVLA websites to update. So is it safe to drive way straightaway? Thanks |

If you have received your insurance certificate then yes.
When you tax the car you will also get a receipt, keep it just in case you get stopped. -------------------- If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
