* Dealership: Dealerships require a driver's license for identification and to process the sale. They also often require proof of insurance before allowing you to drive the car off the lot. They need to ensure the car is properly registered and insured to avoid legal repercussions.
* Private Seller: While a private seller might be *less* strict, they'll still likely want identification, and most are smart enough to avoid a sale that could leave them with liability issues. Selling a car without ensuring the buyer has insurance and a license could expose them to legal trouble if that buyer is involved in an accident.
* Registration and Title Transfer: To legally own and operate a vehicle, you need a driver's license to obtain registration and transfer the title. Without a license, this process is impossible in most jurisdictions.
* Insurance: Insurance is generally required by law to drive a vehicle on public roads. Therefore, if you purchase a car, you'll need insurance before driving it.
You might be able to have someone else purchase the car *for* you, but that person would then be responsible for insurance and registration, and you would need to establish ownership through a separate legal agreement, which can be complex. This is a risky approach, as it leaves room for legal disputes.
In short, while there might be extremely rare exceptions, it's virtually impossible to legally buy a car and drive it away without a driver's license and insurance.
