Some insurance companies will cover you on new cars for 3 days. Carry the insurance card with you in case you get pulled over. Even though tomorrow is a holiday you need to call and check if they will cover you. If not don’t take the risk of driving without insurance.

Murphy’s Law dictates that you will almost certainly run into the back of an expensive imported vehicle!

Grace periods?? Read the policy on the car you traded – if you traded one – there MAY be a grace period.

usually, the grace period is a couple of days or until u get ur insurance card showing that insurance is in effect for this car. even if u do wind up meeting 1 of those ‘insurance checkpoints’, the dealer should have given u papers showing that u havent had this car for very long. as long as u have insurance in effect for the other car, ur still covered on that policy, and u are still legal temporarily.
as soon as the insurance company opens after the holidays, have them add the new car to the policy.
unless ur actin like an idiot, the cops wont stop u without a reason.

You should be able to get a temp waiver from a web insurance company.

Possibilities:
* ticket for no insurance on the vehicle
* accident then insurance denies coverage — huge.

Remember poor old Murphy.

insurance companies normally will cover your vehicle for up to ten days if you purchase one without it being put on the policy. a few days won’t matter, but make sure you get it on your policy as soon as possible. if you are stopped, you may or may not be able to avoid a ticket, but it can be beaten in court since you couldn’t get it insured when you prurchased it since the insurer was closed. a copy of your insurance on another vehicle will usually keep you from getting a ticket, but not always.some cops are just *** holes.

IF YOU CAN AVOID IT DO SO. It all depends if you get caught which in my estimation is pretty unlikely ,but never say never.You could get your license revoked. A very steep fine. If you get in an accident then you could lose everything, Literally. Nothing good can come out of doing this….unless of course you DO NOT get caught or get into an accident…Forget everything if on top of it you are impaired then you are screwed blued and tattooed.BIG TIME.You decide……HAPPY NEW YEARS>>>>>>>>>>Stay safe and have fun……….

You will get a ticket if you get pulled over, since your new car is not actually covered by your insurance yet. Since you are the insured person though, you should be able to switch your cars on the insurance, then take the proof of insurance to court and get it cleared. At least that is how my mom did it where I live. In Alabama, the ticket would be about 300 dollars. If you have a company like Progressive or Geico or one of those huge companies, the have 1-800 numbers and are available 24/7.

Well maybe nothing will happen but if you have an accident you are fu***d. And a cop could give you a ticket. I wouldn’t drive it out of my driveway until I had insurance. Too much risk. Also your old insurance only covers your old car unless you have the kind of insurance that allows you to drive any car. Good Luck and Happy New Year!!
