Question:
my mom is buying me a car. I have my permit and I get my liscense in May but I want the car now. My mom says that she doesnt want to have to pay insurance on the car and just have it sit there, but I really want it so I can sit in it and show it off to my friends, who all have cars. if noone is driving the car, does there need to be insurance on it? she said that it does because what if someone were to hit it while it was parked on the street. also, does it have to have a liscense plate and can i get all that stuff without having to get insurance? i wanna get it now and then convince her to get insurance and let me drive it. it will be easier to convice her if i already have the car. the car i want is a manual but she wants me to practice in her automatic because thats the car im using for the test. im tired of driving her car and i want to drive my own, especially because its a stick.

How do I get a temporary tag in Kentucky to drive it back to North Carolina?
Yes, your mom is right. However, if she is buying a car from a dealer, the car need to be registered, she need to have insurance on it in order for her to get a tag for the car. If she is buying it from a private sales, then she can wait to register the car. But, you are at risk of having your car towed or ticketed for not having a proper tag and registration and if it's hit by other driver you lose the money for repair. Since you are a new driver, the cost of having a car insured would cost quite a bit, especially for a car that would sit for 5 months not being driven.lost my license, how do i get it back without having to take the back on track program?
Talk to your local DMV, I know here in california we can register cars as "in-op" or inoperable, if its a race car or a car thats out of commision. Not sure if this is only california but it might be what you are looking for.insurance related,what is considered worst against your license,points or temp.suspension/?
Depends on the state, but if its licensed and tagged - it needs insurance.But if the car is stolen, fire etc - or it rolls and damages property - don't you want coverage for it? Talk to your insurnace company, they may offer a storage plan if you're not driving it
