The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that new/used vehicles are sold in accordance with rules and regulations. It is to ensure that vehicles are being sold legitimately, not to those who do not hold such a licence and in a roadworthy condition, with no illegal modifications.
Vehicle Dealerships (including those who sell vehicles at auctions, or other places of work), whom sell Land, Sea or Air vehicles, of any make or model, are to ensure that person(s) purchasing such a vehicle, holds on their person a valid licence, specific to the vehicle they are purchasing. This is done by asking said person the question and the buyer MUST show an identification card. Should individuals who are banned from operating such vehicles, purchase one before/after showing their licence, further restrictions and conditions will be placed on the buyers.
This legislation also includes guidelines for modifications of vehicles being sold within Dealerships, Dealership owners and employees are to ensure that any vehicle sold is roadworthy. This is done by ensuring any vehicle sold has no illegal modifications, and has window tints within the legal limit (No less than 55% of light through). Should any vehicle dealerships be found selling unroadworthy vehicles fines may be issued to the Dealership.
For licence checks, the Los Santos Police Service, will be conducting spot checks at dealerships (or other recognised vehicle retailers), to ensure that this legislation is abided by. Failure to abide by such legislation, will in turn occur you a financial penalty of £100,000 per sale of a vehicle if this legislation is not abided too. (Example - If someone buys three vehicles in one go and you do not enquire about the licence they hold and do not see their Identification, this fine is £100,000).
For illegal modifications, the Los Santos Police Service, will be conducting spot checks at dealerships (or other recognised vehicle retailers), to ensure that this legislation is abided by. Failure to abide by such legislation, will in turn result in a financial penalty of £50,000 per visit if this legislation is not abided too. (Example - If a Dealership owns three vehicles with illegal levels of window tints the fine is £50,000, this does not stack per vehicle therefore would not be £150,000. However the LSPS may return within a reasonable time frame and conduct another inspection, they may issue another fine for the same vehicles if the illegal modifications/window tints have not been fixed).
In summary for licence checks; as vehicle dealership owner / employee, when selling a vehicle, be that land, sea or air, to a customer, you must;
1) Ask the buyer if they have a valid licence to drive said vehicle they are purchasing.
2) The buyer MUST show you their identification, so you know who you are selling the vehicle too. You are to ensure you ask them to show you their identification and it is advisable you take a copy of their identification for your own records.
In summary for vehicle modifications; as a vehicle dealership owner, when selling or displaying any vehicle, you must;
1) Ensure any vehicle has no illegal modifications.
