An individual can buy a car without a driver's license, but cannot drive it on the road. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: Definition of a driver's license: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities after a person who is legally permitted to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the required examinations, granting permission to drive a specific type of motor vehicle. Reasons for needing a driver's license: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly could lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have already acquired safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the driver's license. This indicates that a driver's license is a form of permission.

Of course you can buy a car! Actually, buying a car has little to do with having a driver's license; it mainly depends on whether you can afford it and sign the contract. I'm a car enthusiast myself—I bought a vintage car as a pure collectible to keep in my garage even before getting my license. To buy a car, you'll need your ID card, bank statements or proof of funds, and registration for the license plate—none of these require a driver's license, as the DMV only cares about clear ownership. However, if you buy a car without a license, there are things to watch out for. For example, car insurance might be more complicated, and you'll need to find someone to drive it for annual inspections or maintenance—otherwise, leaving it unused can lead to battery drain or damage. The biggest hassle comes when transferring ownership or selling the car, as you’ll need to ensure all legal procedures are properly handled. In short, there’s no obstacle to buying a car—the key is planning how to use it properly so it doesn’t rust or go to waste.
