The punishment would be exactly the same!!
"Sorry Officer, it's a new car"
"That's alright son, I'll let you off"
I think not!

The idea is to insure the car before you buy it...

the car should be insured under your name for that reg plate
the tax should still be valid, along with the mot
and the v5 you will have the green slip in your hand to proove you just bought it
so you should have no problems

Maybe he is buying it privately? so then it might not be taxed or mot'd either?
but u should still insure a car before u go to collect it

If this is the case then he should insure it. and drive stright to an pre arranged MOT test. and then tax his car.
