Of course you could always ask your insurance company....

I thought that you would have the answer as you know so much about the insurance business my question was simple it requires a simple yes or no !!

I don't know everything but I've explained the reasons why you can't have a straightforward yes or no reply. As I said you could always ask your own insurance company.

I have replied to all your posts
I simply used the example of a SORNed vehicle to illustrate the fact that you do not need tax to insure a vehicle,something you seem unwilling to accept despite the evidence presented .
Also you do realise that it is perfectly legal to drive an untaxed vehicle to an MOT station ,it is also perfectly legal to drive a vehicle with no tax disc for up to 14 days as long as the tax has been paid online

I would imagine yes because they would be obliged to pay 3rd party claims against the driver ,I would imagine that it would be a hassle and the insurance company would try to wriggle out of it but having an untaxed vehicle is not in any way an issue the insurance company would be concerned with ,vehicle tax is a issue for DVLA not insurers.

Imagining does not come into it, and it definitely does involve the insurers.

No it does not ,think about it ,the last time you insured your car did you get asked to provide proof of road tax? the answer is no because there is no requirement to tax a car in order to have valid insurance .If you still don't believe Russ and me then google it yourself and then post back with evidence that contradicts what we have said

Insurance companies will not withhold a payout based on a car being untaxed.

Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years
I fail to see how the last few posts applies to the topic of tax discs being scrapped..We aren't discussing insurance.

I was quite surprised when I got my new car that it didn't come with a tax disc because of this - but they did indeed assure me it was ok for the wife to drive for the time until my disc showed up.

Because ,as shown by Banjo some people think that scrapping the tax disc will lead to more uninsured vehicles

Yep ,the only issue is when you park up in town and some jobsworth traffic warden decides to give you a ticket for not displaying a valid tax disc

Well the police are online these days and have instant access to sites we the public have no access to, I'm fairly sure they can check car tax and insurance instantly.

That is OK if the information held electronically is correct 100% of the time which it is not.

It has been in the past so why would it change just because a piece of paper is being scrapped .

So all the information held on motorists electronically is 100% correct, that is rubbish !
