Re: ForTwo ForSale Illegally

as your not allowered to sell vehicles on the public highway..

as far as I understand it, it's only illegal if:

The Act therefore states that an offence is being committed when there are two or more vehicles, within 500 metres of each other, being offered for sale.


It is recognised that a private individual may have more than one vehicle to sell and may park them close together in the street. It is anticipated that this will be rare and that his/her ownership of the two (or more) vehicles can be easily established and by local enquiries, it can also be ascertained whether the owner practices this on a regular basis. A person will not be convicted if he can prove he was not acting for the purposes of a business.

so the guy has either been found to be a trader or an individual who's been selling several cars as a business?

But new laws make it illegal for one person to sell two cars or more on the same stretch of road

Re: ForTwo ForSale Illegally
