Hot Momma ;)	Yes, if in the unlikely event something happens you will have to just explain the circumstances and be prepared to pay out of your own pocket if you smash another car!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peter and sheena	i should think so as long as you don't have to drive it to far home Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stitched up	If you have fully comprehensive insurance on another car, some insurers cover you to drive another car with the same or lower engine size temporarily, but you would only be covered third party. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

anton m	If you know someone who has insurance to drive any car, maybe you can ask them to drive it for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nurseybird	no!!! many people think you can - but what if you hit something??? Its not worth the risk - its 6 points on your license and a heafty fine. You could ask the dealer for trade plates. But you'll have to insure it once its home just do it before you collect. Its one of those sod's law situations - you may be only going 1 mile up the road but it's sods law they'll be a copper at the end of the road. dont risk it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The original Peter G	NO NO NO. Get it delivered by the seller Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ButwhatdoIno?	Uninsured means just that "UNINSURED" You can go to the "weigh scales" most often and get a one way temporary insurance that will allow you to drive the car from point A to point B for not too much money. That or use a flatbed or have it towed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PAUL F	NO Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Grizz	In a word.......NO!! But if you bought it from a garage or a dealer you could get 7 day drive away insurance for free from whom ever you bought it off. Regards Geordie Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

colin872966	No sorry you need to be insured ( think about it) all the best Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thek_im_good	no you can not, but you can tow it with a car that has insurance. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Oracle	No. Section 147 of the 1988 Road Traffic Act states "it is an offence to keep or operate a motor vehicle on the public highway without adequate insurance cover". Sort out your insurance before you pick up the vehicle, or recover the car home on a trailer (using another [already insured] vehicle). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dels replies	No it is illegal to use on uninsured car on the road. up to you if you take a chance or not. Where are you going to work on the car.. It must not be on the public highway so it must be stored on private land or in a garage. Seems you are skimping unnecessarily, Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

namrepus	No you cant because youre violating a law. It is much better to insure it first before driving to avoid a much bigger problem. You can find a lot of car insurance companies that offering a much cheaper payments. Try to visit this site http://www.nightbirdssolutions.com for your reference.

Bardic	Not unless you have it trailered or perhaps the previous owner would deliver it on his insurance & complete the deal when he gets there. If you're going to work on it at the roadside it must be insured anyway, and if you are planning to work on it in your driveway you ought to have it insured at least third party fire & theft, in case some kindly neighbourhood scrote pinches it or sets fire to it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

welshangel19	In a word - NO. It is against the law to keep a vehicle on the road without the required road risks cover. Regardless of whether the vehicle is being driven or is just parked in a street. Motor Insurance is compulsary. If you are buying the vehicle from a garage, they may supply 7 day driveaway cover, but be careful as they have an excess and if you were unlucky enough to have a bump on the way home, would it be worth paying out around £600 rather than arrange decent cover? However, if you are buying this vehicle privately and the vehicle is still insured by the owner, s/he would be able to add you as a named driver to the policy, for a small fee, for maybe a day at which time then they would cancel the policy. In respect to one of the earlier answers regarding the driving other vehicles extension on comprehensive motor policies - allowing the proposer of a comprehensive policy to drive a vehicle not owned by them with third party cover. This is correct but the third party vehicled is required to be insured in its own right. So even if you did have comprehensive motor insurance, you would not be covered to drive the vehicle. So, no you cannot drive the vehicle without insurance. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tkquestion	If you have another car that is insured, most insurance company will cover new purchases up to 7 days without notification. If this is the case, you need to call your insurance company and make sure.... Otherwise, legally, you are not in compliance if you drive a car without any insurance. It is done quite often; however. I don't do it, and I don't recommend you do either. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

proud walker	No. Possibly if you already have car insurance and if the seller is willing to leave his insurance on the car until you get home. It would be better to contact an insurer and ask them to provide immediate cover. If you already have motor insurance you should be able to get the second car added to your policy for a short time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scouse	Youi should not drive it until you have insurance, it is against the law . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

AnswersGalore	Not legally. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Randy Gaye	No you can not drive without insurance. On ebay norwich union do insurance for seven days other companies do it for a day. If you drove without insurance and injured somone you could go to prison. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

neil desperandum	As far as I'm aware you must be insured to take a vehicle out on to the public highway. A cover note is ok. I'm not sure of the minimum cost for this though. Surely, you would be prefer to be covered for fire and theft whilst working on the car as a basic minimum, unless of course the car cost you very little? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mikey	If you want to drive your car home best thing to do is get a cover note from any insurance company this will allow you to drive it for up to 28 days...i don't think the police would ever consider your plea if you tell them that you have just bought it. Better safe that sorry i think Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

val f1 nutter	no, not legally. you can phone for insurance and then cancel it within the cooling off period. try that to get you home. if you bought it from a garage, ask them if they can deliver it for you, they have traders policies. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Miss Behavin	No - you will be breaking the law. You must insure the car before you drive it. A car has to have a valid MOT, tax and insurance to be on the road. If you drive the car without insurance you are committing an offence, could be looking at a driving ban - and, hate to say the worst, if you did have an accident, you would be uninsured and personally liable - you could loose everything if you killed someone. Why don't you call your insurance company and see if they will insure you for, say a week - to allow you to drive the car where you need to. It really isn't worth trying to save £50 here or there.
