if it is a car that is not paid in full the dealership will require you have full coverage insurance before they allow you to leave the lot. If the car is paid off then you pretty much drive it at your own risk. (hence you only need liability) However if you were to be stop by the police you would still be cited for no insurance. usually there is a small grace period generally about 10 days, but it is in your best interest to insure it asap!!!

Is it legal for an insured secondary driver to drive a car owned by a deceased primary driver?

Were they a named insured in the Household? By most companies, if you are rated in the household, you may drive any vehicle in HH. Yes, coverage should still apply to the vehicle however I would try to get the title of the car changed out of the name of the deceased party's name as soon as possible.

When you buy a new or used car how long do you have to get insurance?

You must have insurance on the vehicle as soon as you purchase it. The nice part though, is that, if you already have an insurance policy for another vehicle, or if you are on a family policy and someone else in the family has a car with insurance, and you are listed as a driver on the family policy, that company will most likely cover your new auto purchase for a 15 day period, sometimes even a 30 day period. Check with your insurance agent for exact times as they vary with each company


How soon do you need insurance on a car you just bought?

Straight away. In UK you cannot tax a car unless it is insured (and MOTd where applicable). It is rare to buy a car withtax on it. Tax must be obtained before the car can be driven on the road; ergo insurance must be bought immediately.
