I didn't know this but my insurance agent said I am automatically covered for 30 days on any car I purchase, but I had him add it with the vin # to my policy before we drove over to look at it anyway.

My insurance company will cover any car I buy for 30 days until I get it insured officially. I usually give them the VIN just to make sure they know about it and they will print out proof of purchase for me. I would rather be pulled over for no plate than have the wrong one on a car. The fines would be much less.
