If I sell my car can I keep the insurance running and number plate?

Starting with insurance, you should always make sure to cancel this after selling your car. If you don't, you may be liable for any claims or tickets associated with the vehicle later on. Make sure to contact your insurance company to cancel your policy, and you may receive a refund if you've paid for this in advance.
