Hi

I recently bought a second car to use only for track days. When I bought it, it had a MOT and was taxed. When I drive it to the circuits I get 1 day insurance.

The tax is about to expire soon, but as I don't have year round insurance how do I go about taxing it? Would it be enough to get 1 day insurance and show that in the post office, or would I have to get 12 months insurance then cancel it?

Or is there another way?

Thanks

Simon

As far as I am aware as long as you have all the relevant paper work pertaining to the cars particulars on the day FOR that day, you should be OK. I would give the local DVLA office a call to clarify though yes

I dont think you can tax a car on a temp policy. However if you take out a full policy, receive the certificate and then cancel it, you can tax it using that certificate, as they dont actually check if the insurance is valid, only that you have a certificate.
