AFAIK it shouldn't matter if it's still in his name as long as the insurance and MOT checks out

Last time i got disc from P.O - i queued for ages only to realise i'd left one of the docs I needed at home - doh!

the problem i have is this:
When i took ownership of the car i singed the green tear off on the V5 and posted it to the DVLA as per the instructions. Having spoken with the DVLA they never received it and as such, the car remains registered in my Grandads name (stupid royal mail). So, On the remaining V5 document it said:
'if you are the new keeper of this vehicle but your name does not appear above then please fill in the back of this form and post it to the DVLA'. So i signed ni the back of the V5 and posted it to them yesterday. Its only this morning that i realise the only way to get my car taxed is by having the current V5 document - which i dont as its currently in the post to the DVLA. So i cant tax the car and as such cant drive the damn thing.
any ideas? When i phoned the DVLA some arab told me a load of rubish that i simply could not understand!

Evil Portal Application? More like evil tax rape application.
Sounds like you'll need to wait till you get a new V5 unless you kept the V5 new owners receipt. If you do have it, try the local Post Office, it's the easiest way to find out if they'll accept it.
