1. alexander Says: Im am currently still 16 but planning onto driving in March. I have a few questions.

1. When can I buy a car? Now? or when I'm 17? and when I do buy a used car, do I have to have MOT, insurance and road tax before I can drive off with it from the dealer?

2. When filling up at petrol station, Which pump would I need to use?(I am getting a diesel car) and if it says leaded and unleaded, which one is the diesel one? is the leaded dieseal or unleaded diesel?
Comfused...

Thanks in advanced.

2. Twisted_Ace Says: 1) Anyone can buy a car and anyone can be the registered keeper of a car (often mistakenly called "the owner"), at any age. You cannot drive it on the road until you are 17 years old, though.
You must have insurance, a valid tax disc and a valid M.O.T. certificate before you can legally drive the car on the road.

2) You use the pump marked "Diesel". There is no such thing as leaded or unleaded diesel - it's just "Diesel".
"Leaded" and "Unleaded" only applies to petrol.

Be prepared for a shock when you get insurance quotes, though. You can easily expect to pay £4,000+, no matter what car you drive or who you get insured with.
