Exclamation Vehicle sale, test drives, licence check & impounding

Hey all,

Quick question - how are we supposed to allow anyone to test drive a vehicle when there is no method to check if their licence is current?

You can check if the licence has been suspended for fines, not a impounding for 28 day offence but could lead to insurance issues if they have a bingle on the test drive - http://www.courts.dotag.wa.gov.au/_a...es/search.aspx and the response is immediate.

BUT only a individual can check if their licence is suspended due to court order or "hooning" etc here - http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licen...ence/19984.asp

It takes 24 hours though and the test driver could easily "doctor" the email, let alone, that their licence could have been suspended between the inquiry time and the email being produced.

This effects anyone selling their car or anyone loaning their car.

Just thought I'd put it out there.
