Hi Robert,
Most insurance companies, yes, but not General accident.
They won't even speak to you on the phone, all communication has to be
via email, though admittedly they did reply to those pretty quickly.
In the end i just transferred the policy onto the new car and sorned the
Fiesta.
Luckily the electrical fault it was sold with seems to have disappeared
at the moment.

Hello Jim.
I think you can get a cover note, that last three or four weeks from you
insurance company.
When I asked, I think it was £30 or £40.
Regards Robert Greig

You probably got away with it because it was only 3 weeks, so when you did
tax it you paid for tax back to the start of the month and covered the 3
weeks.If you’d waited till the end of the month before taxing it and
effectively skipped a month you would probably have got a fine. I forgot to
renew a sorn once (glad you don’t need to do that now) and they did send me a
reminder letter which was a nice surprise. I also got stopped once in my
Mondeo by a police car, they told me the car was sorned.I said, i’m sure it
isn’t.Then, i realised, i had another Mondeo which was sorned and when the tax
renewal came for the Mondeo i was driving i thought it was the other one and
sorned it by mistake. Luckily, i had done it before the tax disk on the car had
actually expired so after discussing it for a minute they decided the tax disk
overrode the sorn and let me go.Which was a relief, there’s a big fine for
driving a sorned car. I suppose i wouldn’t get away with that now as the
Sorning would have cancelled the tax online and there would be no tax disk to
show. Jim From: ricky deacon Sent: Friday, June 26, 2015 9:05 AMTo:

insurance company for short term policy. I cant help with insurance but my tax
ran out on my Audi and my Xtreme and becasue I was moving house I just forgot
about it. I drove the Audi for 3 weeks until a roadside inspection picked me up
and simplty sent me a warning letter to get it done. The xtreme was Sorn'd
immediately by me and nothing come of that either Appears that the DVLA are a
not as harsh as you would expect when tax runs out.

Hi all, Just bought a new daily driver car and need a few weeks
insurance on the old one to sell it. I’ve have found out that unlike all my
previous insurance companys that General Accident won’t do a short term policy
on the old car. And if i take out a new policy on the new car they will charge
me £54 to cancel the policy on the old one. Can anybody recommend an insurance
company to insure a Fiesta for a couple of weeks at a sensible price. Many
thanks, Jim
