I went with a friend the other day to look at a car they were interested in.
Didn't look to bad for a £500 run around, started and sounded fine but wanted to take it for a test drive.
Only thing is the car had no tax.
Under the garage owners instructions we took it for a quick test around the block.
Come back, friend happy brought the car and six months tax.
My friend changed insurance over. Job done all legal and above board.
My question is, if out for a test drive we was unlucky enough to have a tug from the police who's at fault.
The garage owner or me ?
At that point in time, I'm not the owner (the garage owner is) there is no tax on the car and who's insurance is covering the car ?
Sorry if its a stupid question but I have wondered about this.
I wouldn't buy any car without a test drive before parting with any cash.
The car, a Vauxhall tigra 1.6l with 66,000 miles. Nice runner
