Transporting a new purchase

[Glenn Allen]

If I'm not mistaken, most states give you 30 days to document a newly
purchased motor vehicle. However, you must have insurance to drive
it home. You can get the insurance to give you a policy and fax a
copy of the binder to you at the purchase site (assuming they can
receive a fax).
