I think not. Check if you will. Start by reading the appropriate clause on your own policy.
The first thing you will find is that the car in question cannot be your own, second it must be insured in it's owners name to use the clause.
I repeat , You cannot ever drive an uninsured vehicle on public roads.

Not on my policy.:rolleyes:

So how do the Motor Trade manage?

They have Trade plates especially for that purpose.

Indeed my last two policies, and a couple of T&C's I also checked make no mention of requiring any other insurance to be in force for driving other vehicle cover. However a recently added clause does require other insurance to be in force, but only when collecting a siezed vehicle.

My policy says that I can drive another car as long as it isn't mine and with the owners permission - it doesn't mention anywhere about it needing to be insured by them.

Is that a true reflection of the whole clause? They normally say something about the insurance of the other vehicle.

Then I must defer to your superior knowledge. However I shall check for myself before I consider doing it.

Nope, nothing. Other than the clause I mentioned in a previous post. Some policies may have these restrictions, your policy wording will tell you.

Some policies also state you cannot use your third party cover to recover a vehicle siezed under 165 RTA but not mine.:j

Some policies do, I'd say the majority don't.
