Shut the f*ck up with the whining and go to your local office and sort it out:

Profile says Leeds.

Address says Leeds.

Can't be *that* not local. 

You stay on the phone for hours instead of getting on the bus to talk to someone and getting things sorted out.

You can use the green slip.

If you have a mate with trader's insurance you can use that. I just taxed my new golf using the trader's insurance as it covers any driver. Most insurance companies will email you the certificate (or let you download online) now too. Print off at home and this is still a legal copy.

MOT certificate.

Cash.

Job Done.

P.S. I am insured but the trader offered to help and that saved me from driving home for my certificate with no tax...

Oh yes, of course you're insured, that's why you had to use your mate's traders insurance to tax your car.
