Can You Buy a Car Without a Driver's License?
2 Answers
You can buy a car without a driver's license, but you cannot drive it. Here is more information about buying and driving a car without a license: 1. Buying and registering a car without a license: Not only can you buy a car without a driver's license, but you can also register the car under your personal name. According to relevant regulations, registering a car requires providing the invoice, certificate of conformity, proof of purchase tax payment, the owner's ID card, and a copy of the compulsory insurance policy at the vehicle management office. 2. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Driving a motor vehicle without a license will result in a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan and may also lead to detention for up to 15 days.
I think this question is very practical! To be honest, you can definitely buy a car without a driver's license. The vehicle management office only checks your ID card when purchasing a car, and it has nothing to do with whether you have a license or not. But without a license, the most you can do with the car you bought is to park it at home as a decoration. Want to drive it on the road? That's illegal. My neighbor did exactly this—he got a license plate number through the lottery and was afraid it would expire, so he rushed to buy a car before even finishing the third driving test. Now, the car has been parked in the community for two years, and the tires are almost flat. The most troublesome part is that he has to pay for insurance and maintenance every year, and he can’t even ask a friend to drive it for the annual inspection—because the owner must be present to complete the procedures. So yes, you can buy it, but it will definitely become a burden.
