No of course you can't. It's a legal requirement to have insurance OR - if you're so rich - you put down an enormous amount of cash to cover ALL eventualities - an impossibility in this day and age.

Not on a public highway - private road yes


cymry3jones
NO!! Unless, of course you are driving someone else's car and he has any-driver fully comprehensive insurance and you have the car owners permission to use the car.

Silly question? of course not, who's gonna pay for any damage in case you have an accident,get a grip.


foolymoux
No, definitely not. How would having a full drivers license pay for the damages caused if you had an accident?


Hereward the Wake
depends if u are on a public road then no, if u are on private property then all u need is permission from the land owner and a car

Totally illegal.

In the UK there must be insurance in place to cover YOU driving THAT car, providing cover for third party liabilities as a minimum. It's not optional.

That's on the public highway, not necessary on private land.

If you're caught driving without insurance, apart from a hefty fine and penalty points you also risk having the car seized and potentially crushed.

No of course not, unless you are on private land with the owners permission.

No. You need third party cover to be legal.

No the whole point of car insurance is to pay out the other party if you have an accident with them A driving licence just means you have passed your test

Yes there is a way to do it.
You have to deposit a substantial monetary amount with either the bank of england or the treasury and then you are deemed to be covered.
Sorry cannot remember the excact details.
Some large haulage companies I have worked for do this and are known as self insured.
Sorry do not know all the details but you could google it. EDIT Just found the info - your have to lodge £500000 with Lloyds of London. money stays yours but you cant spend it.

Only if you are taking driving lessons with a registered driving instructor who has insurance to cover his pupils, or if you have been added to someone else's policy as a named driver.

No you need to either hold your own policy or be a named driver on someones else policy for the car your driving..You don't have insurance your looking at a fine from between £250-£1000 and possibly points on your license!! Not worth it if you get caught!

I guess it really depends on what you are asking.

Generally you don't need to carry insurance yourself but the car you are driving will need to be insured.

For instance if your parents or friend has a car that they will let you borrow and they carry insurance then even if you don't pay for insurance then you should eb able to legally drive the car as long as you do have a full license.

If you have a car and the car is not insured then you definitely need insurance on any public road.

I recommend checking a rate comparison service if you decide to get insurance because you'll be able to find a cheap rate (comparatively).

It's free to check rates and I recommend http://tendealsaday.com/a.php?a=CD15393&b=22606&d=0&l=0&o=&p=0&c=4119&s1=yhans

Definitely do not drive a car that does not have an insurance policy.


Michael H
no.

If you wreck my £115K car I'm be taking your house from you, and i wil not bat an eyelid.


DAVID H
No No No


John T
No. To drive on the public highway you/your car must have full driving license, insurance, MOT (where required) and road tax.


Fellside13
No!

and whats a lineace?


MickeyT
Unless the car is insured by someone else or the police have ordered you to drive it then the answer is definitely no, except for away from public roads. Even a child can drive legally on private ground with no insurance/tax/MOT/license.

At first,you may collect some infomation by inputing the relevant keywords in search engine,if you get good luck there,then your problem is solved.nevertheless,if you could not find the ideal answer for your question by doing that,here http://www.AutoInsuranceFree.info/free-auto-insurance.htm is the resource i suggest.

No - by law, any driver or owner of a car, motorcycle, van, lorry or any other kind of motor vehicle must be insured to drive on a public highway.

The exception to this is if you are driving a vehicle that does not belong to you, and is not hired to you under a hire purchase agreement, and you have the vehicle owner's permission.

The car insurance cover is usually Third Party only which covers injury and damage to third parties but not damage to the vehicle you are driving. This cover was designed to be used in emergency situations only.

You can drive on private land or private road without insurance as long as you have the permission of the land/road owner.

i think u mean that if u insure urself 'fully comp' with some insurance companies u can pay a fee every year which u lets u drive any car as long as u have the drivers permision...
i hope this helps..

Acually, it depends on where you live. In South Dakota, it is legal, according to my insurace company. But it is NOT smart! Then any damages are entirely your resposiblity to pay for and you can be sued if an accident is your fault.


dakota97slowpar
Yes you can drive without insurance on a public highway, but only when DIRECTED by police, fire or any other emergency relief worker, during a legitimate crisis. otherwise you might end up losing your vehicle. in some states, they impound it for 30 days, and if it is not recovered in 45 days, they sell it for you, except that you don't get a cent for it, and you still have to pay the fine.
