[Clloyd54]

I just bought a car today, Friday that was about 45 minutes away, but in the same state. I am going to get it tomorrow, but need to know what paper work i need to drive it home. It is not registered under my insurance obviously i just bought it and its the weekend. Can i take my plates from my car now with my registartion and go get the car put those plates on it and with the title and bill of sale drive it home?

Most insurance companies do offer a coverage under your current policy for situations like this. I would not recommend driving without plates, or some type of temp tag. Call your DMV in the morning and ask them.

Here's a link to your state's DMV office with info on registering a vehicle you just purchased:http://www.mass.gov/rmv/regs/index.htm It seems you will have to wait until at least Monday morning if you want it done legally.
