I hope to be a buying a new (to me) motorhome in the next couple of weeks. I have a quote for insurance, so just need to phone to start the policy before I drive it away from the dealer.
I was planning to tax it online (paying by monthly DD) immediately after phoning the insurance company. But I'm confused about what checks the online system will do. I believe it can take a week before a new insurance policy appears in the online database. Does the DVLA tax site check the database? If so, it will think I am uninsured, so won't let me tax the vehicle? Or does it not work like that?
