Interesting.
Couldn't the police arrest you as soon as you leave the lot?
If you drive the car onto public roads you would then be breaking the law and most likely you would have trouble applying for plates for the car. Traffic enforcement here isn't exactly on top of anything. If you wanted the car delivered to your home or any private property it would be perfectly legal. Based on the number of unplated vehicles and frequency of uninsured motorist incidents here, I'd be a bit shocked if any enforcement occurred.
Thanks for your time and info.
Around here, all dealerships require you show them a drivers licence and proof of insurance before you can drive off.
You could buy it and have it delivered without one though.
That makes more sense to me than expecting traffic cops to even find let alone enforce after the fact.
TBH, I never thought much about it and kinda assumed it was universal.
Nothing says that the owner/buyer of a car has to be the one who drives it. You could buy a car and have someone else drive you around. Or just buy one for someone else to use—for example a parent who doesn't drive could buy a car for their child who has a license. Or vice-versa. Either way there is no reason for the buyer to need a license.
