QuestionWhat is the law on getting a vehicle home after buying it, i.e., tax and insurance?Dorsey Kelley IIICommunity AnswerIn the US, insurance is a must for any vehicle you are driving, even if you just bought it. A dealer is not allowed to let you drive a vehicle off the lot until you prove minimum insurance protection. A bill of sale, depending on your state, proving purchase that day, is normally enough to keep you from getting a ticket as long as you go to your motor vehicle department by the next business day. If you do get a ticket, the bill of sale and proof of registration by the next business day can help you if you go to court.
