Car insurance and road tax - Optimist
I'm renewing the car insurance shortly. For once I waded through all the paper that arrives with the renewal notice to find a new condition added under "Care of your car" saying that you must have a valid vehicle tax disc.

So if you forget to renew the tax you may find your insurance is invalidated which strikes me as odd.

Worth checking your policy.

And once that happens you cannot renew the tax because you haven't got insurance?

I once made the mistake of querying something like this with my (then) insurer.

It had to have a valid MOT to be insured and they would not under any circumstances cover the vehicle on it's way to an MOT station to get one.

I've never seen the requirement for VED though.
