continuous insurance/SORN etc
Discussion
Good morning, I cant seem to get the answer I need, and have been hanging on the phone to DVLA and have given up.
Query is as follows, have just purchased a car for my son for his 21st next month. It's still at the dealer till Sat.
If I tax it on sat , then the car will not be insured till 18th which is my sons birthday, can't insure earlier as premium is way too high cos hes not 21 yet, so fall foul of continuous insurance rule.
If I SORN it on sat and send the V5C with a filled in V890 (SORN) declaration. I then cant drive it home for off road keeping cos it wont be taxed.
Any ideas how I can get it home legally.
Many thanks.

Get the dealer to deliver it on the back of a low loader or trade plates - only option really as it's got to be insured in its own right for you to use any 3rd party cover you might have for another vehicle to drive it home yourself.
If it's too far away for the dealer to do it there's companies that specialise in delivering further afield and they don't usually charge the earth
Good Idea Adrian, hes doing just that, delivering it, many thanksIf it's too far away for the dealer to do it there's companies that specialise in delivering further afield and they don't usually charge the earth
