As hack insurance costs a sheit lot more, around here we don't shell out for it until the day before the test as this is when the council ask to see the insurance. If he's paid for it already then he definately is an idiot. He won't be covered to carry passengers until he is plated.
If my memory's correct then when I applied for my plate initially you had to have a valid taxi insurance policy before they would even accept the application. Between this and getting tested and plated took a few weeks, so in effect I was paying for pointless insurance.
However, the bit that really annoyed me was that between application and testing I had to take the car to the police for them to have a look at it. A constable just came out, took one look at it and said it was OK. I don't know what they were expecting or what he was actually looking for, but a complete waste of time.
