[Blindtlk] owning a vehicle

[Julie J.]

Heya all!

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about federal laws that have 
changed in the past year or so regarding having to have a drivers 
license to purchase a vehicle?

I just bought a car for my son, who is not quite old enough to drive 
yet.  I've been looking for a car for him for a few months because the 
sort of car we wanted is hard to come by and sells within a couple of 
days when they are available.  I didn't want to pass up a good car at a 
good price so I bought it a bit before he will actually be able to drive 
it.   Anyway I was told that I cannot purchase a vehicle without a 
driver's license.   If I understood correctly I can have the title in my 
name only, but the bill of sale requires a drivers license number or 
they can't sell you the car.  This was claimed to be a federal law that 
went into effect January  of 2011.  My husband who has a drivers license 
was there and I used that so I could purchase the car, but I'm still a 
bit irritated by the whole thing.

What do you all think?
