Hi Guys, I know car tax isn't transferable between owners any more but I have a question.
I'm buying my friend's car this evening, will be driving it back from Cambridge to Kent. If he makes it sorn this evening before I pick it up, will an hour or so before I turn up be long enough for the SORN to kick in and for me to tax it?
Or, shall I just drive it home as it is and then tomorrow morning we sort out the Tax issue? Thing is I'll be driving down various Motorways and M25 so don't want to get in trouble with any ANPR.
OR, do I need to actually send off the V5 and get it transferred into my name before I can tax it?
Why the FOC couldn't they have just left it transferable? :\
